Among the 12 international finalists presenting projects for the “Faith Park” in Petrelë, a space where all religious beliefs will coexist, this time it is not only the architecture or urban concept that attracts attention. What makes you stop is the presence on the jury of a name that represents another world, but is equally inspiring: Nensi Dojaka, the Albanian designer who has made history on the international fashion scene.
The designer who won the "LVMH Prize" and has dressed stars like Dua Lipa, Zendaya and Bella Hadid, finds herself in another role today - that of a judge who will help select the project that will transform 210 thousand square meters of the Erzen Valley into a "temple of life and nature."
Nensi Dojaka's participation in this process is symbolic and significant. In an initiative that, according to Prime Minister Edi Rama, is not "a symbol of religion, but a shrine of worship to life," the presence of an artist who builds her language through aesthetics and spiritual sensitivity seems like the ideal bridge between art, identity, and human reflection.
The “Faith Park” is expected to be one with spaces for reflection, cultural events and a “Museum of Memory” for victims of religious persecution. But with Nancy Dojaka on the jury, he gains something more: an aesthetic sense that can transform the “spiritual park” into a joint manifesto between nature, art and man.
In a place where "big projects" often remain breathless, perhaps this is the first case where breath is guaranteed — because there, along with the trees and the soil, will be planted the sensitivity of a woman who built her success by respecting form, silence, and spirit.
