I chose words that cannot be translated, as they hold a certain essence that is not present in other languages. As there are no words to capture the feeling, I explored how to achieve this in a visual formats.

Words:
"retrouvailles" (French - pronounced: re-troo-va-ee)
Seeing someone you love after a long time.

"रिमझिम" (Hindi - pronounced: rimjhim)
A colloquial Hindi word for rain, which describes drizzle or light shower, and encompasses the joy and happiness that comes with rain and monsoons.

"тоска" (Russian - pronounced: tas-ka)
A mix of sadness, nostalgia and melancholy. longing.
