If everything goes to dust and rust, what’s the point of making? When, exactly, does a project become a ruin? At the end of the day, what will remain of it? At the end of the day, what will remain of me? Looking at these tracks of what could have been, I understood I was, too, in-between.
What brought me here? I don’t know? I was on the road, on my way to somewhere. I had been traveling for some time, crossing continents, countries, cities and borders. In-between cultures, In-between realities. I had got to that point in life where I was like “what’s next?” What was I doing? I was just there, in countries where I could hardly communicate. In the middle of nowhere, or in the middle of something. Caught between my past and my future. What do I keep, what do I leave, what do I build. Regrets, hope, dreams. Today is only transitory.
