OLBA is a unique space where two people meet.
They have never seen each other in person.
They come from the same city,
but a vast ocean separates them.
BA lives in Central Europe, OL – not far from New York.
Yet, there is another ocean between them of many differences. New York is OL's big city, while BA lives in a city whose name no one can pronounce.
A town without identity. It was annexed to Poland from Germany
after the war, on Stalin's orders.
The difference between BA's Christianity and OL's Buddhism allows for something astonishing : a shared love for life and creativity. It  waves through  this ocean of differences. OL and BA speak on the phone in a common voice about their  fascination with literature and
art.
That's what OLBA is, an ocean on the planet Solaris.
