Screen



Shore breeze


The shore road, The walk of choice ,The sway of the hair, The strips, The wall of buildings, The intervals of rest.

Floating shifted tiles


Seeking something, yet without resolution, his mind flowed with water, filling up invisible pores. The water does hold our reflections. If only we can breath it in he thought.

A Hermit's Hut

A hermit’s hut. What a subject for an engraving! Indeed, real images are engravings, for it is the imagination that engraves them on our memories. When we look at images of this kind…we start musing on primitiveness. And because of this primitiveness, restored, desired and experienced through simple images, an album of pictures of huts would constitute a textbook of simple exercises for the phenomenology of the imagination.

Parallax lines


     I couldn't help myself as her being was that of a beacon of light guiding me, drawing my attention perhaps away, towards, or adjacent to something invisible. She caught my eye as her lines continues to change as she shifted from perspectives. I had to maintain my focus on my path, yet how boring and repetitive has it became with her presence. Soon I found a path that lead me towards her, and I took it by instincts. Within her heart, her lines were spontaneously that of a different world from perceived, though as strong and of the same species/nature. This awareness is still that of a foreigner. 

Underpass



He wanted to swiftly cruise pass the hectic congestion which he knew occurs right before this particular underpass heading south. While some music was being played on the car stereo, he wondered about the niceness of waiting beneath the underpass for the red to change. The coolness within the shade was refreshing and calming. He sometimes finds himself orientating himself with his car to be fixed under some shade that presents itself. For here, under the shade, his patience for waiting is elongated.

Paulo Coelho

"Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering." 


"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." 

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." 

"If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day." 

"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them." 

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

"I tried hard to forget, but there remained inside me a vague knot of air. And as time went by, the knot began to take on a clear and simple form, a form that I am able to put into words, like this: Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life. It's a cliché translated into words, but at the time I felt it not as words but as that knot of air inside me. Death exists - in a paperweight, in four red and white balls on a pool table - and we go on living and breathing it into our lungs like fine dust."

Fruhlicht (Daybreak)




"HOW DAY WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK – WHO KNOWS? BUT WE CAN FEEL THE MORNING. WE ARE NO LONGER MOONSTRUCK WANDERERS ROAMING DREAMILY IN THE PLAE LIGHT OF HISTORY. A COOL EARLY MORNING WIND IS BLOWING AROUND US; HE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO SHIVER MUST STRIDE OUT. AND WE AND ALL THOSE STRIDING WITH US SEE IN THE DISTANCE THE EARLY LIGHT OF THE AWAKENING MORNING! WHERE ARE ALL THE NOCTURNAL SPECTRES! GLASSY AND BRIGHT A NEW WORLD SHINES OUT IN THE EARLY LIGHT, IT IS SENDING OUT ITS FIRST RAYS. A FIRST GLEAM OF JUBILANT DAWN, DECADES, GENERATIONS – AND THE GREAT SUN OF ARCHITECTURE, OF ART IN GENGERAL WILL BEGIN ITS VICTORIOUS COURSE. / THE IDEA OF THE EARLY LIGHT IS NOT MIRRORED IN THE SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS AND IS GOOD TO MAINTAIN OUR VIEW OF THE HORIZON WITH UNDIMMED IMAGINATION. TESTS OF THE REALIZATION OF THE NEW IDEA ALREADY EXIST IN MATERIAL, AND THESE PAGES ARE INTEDED FIRST AND FOREMOST TO SERVE THIS REALIZATION, STARTING FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THE TOWN COUNCIL THAT DELIGHT IN THE FURTURE. THEY ARE INTENDED TO HELP OUR COMADES IN GERMANY STRIDES FORWARD MORE JOYFULLY WITH US, AND OUR PATH WILL MEET THOSE WHO ARE OUR BROTHERS IN SPIRIT BEYOND OUR FRONTIERS. / we DO NOT BELIEVE IN PARRALLELS BETWEEN MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL FOLLOWING. THE FULL STOMACH DOES NOT LIKE IDEAS, THE OVERFULL HATES THEM, IT WANTS PEACE. TODAY MORE THAN EVER WE BELIEVE IN OUR WILL, WHICH CREATES FOR US THE ONLY LIFE VALUE. AND THIS VALUE IS: EVERLASTING CHANGE."

Timing is everything

"Timing is everything. There is a tide in the affairs of men which when taken at the flood leads on to fortune."
