Architect​ure

Architecture stems from the conflict with nature, the harmony that is its highest aim, is at the same time an accommodation with the forces of nature.
The Infinite mechanism of coexistence creates complex patterns, responding to conditions of fertility and evolution that are largely incomprehensible.
Architecture in many cases refers to what will take place. The temporal identification of the individual and mortality cancels the confirmation of this fact, removing from the builder's vision the flow of the wave that overwhelms, from the Future to the Present, all human actions. The Future is a reflection of the Past, but the Future has already occurred while the Past continues to exist.

Haïti

The name of the Father, as the horses were chased, abandoned, forced the nine straight roadblocks, which that day had been set up as a sudden, evening surprise, by those closed in all three building blocks. The name of the Father escaped the lips of a girl, as she was stabbed by some young people, on torn hasty cardboard boxes, placed on rows and wheels of the Pirelli brand. She struggled to cut from her body, the newborn, who, as if she understood from the depths of the abyss, the sting of tears and the cloud of black smoke, jumped and stretched with the hands the fat of her belly so much, that she herself, with her dark hair where, when she was young, the other children tied dead rats and insects, the same woman who for three days awake did not utter a word, in the burning all-day and all-night roadblocks, now dragging one swollen leg like a trombone, grabbed a young man by the sleeve and told him “I'm giving birth... I wish my time stops right now... I'm giving birth”. And she fell face down on the muddy leftovers, which from early on crawled like poorly made boats around the wells, as the adjacent restaurant was looted and the aubergines with fresh tomatoes and onions were the most beautiful smell that the little one could remember in her whole life.

L.A.

Los Angeles will be an embroidery on the skin of a wild animal. The tree trunks will carry across their vast expanse of metal buildings. People will jump into the murky waters to be saved from their actions. After years in the desert of Dakota a passerby will find the plastic poster of LA Confidential. The blonde girl will mean nothing to him and the guns in the hands of the cops will look like children's water pistols. Without diving into the human intrigue, the passion of corruption, History will pass, the Babels of vanity will have no interest for scholars, the hazy traces of industrial civilizations will be wiped away without any mercy, behind them a cloudy moon will illuminate the new desert, it will be the same as before, before spacemen settled, before Hollywood turns their minds to red drinks, before King Lear sells the stolen kingdom to animal thieves, first and foremost, and then, in the LA desert orange and red dolphins will swim whistling the new soundtrack of the movie “Died in L.A.΄΄

Abraham

The man took off his hat with his team logo. ΄΄You are trembling! ΄΄ The woman turned her body abruptly. She cried for a whole minute. Abraham pretended not to see her. He took out a small mirror and combed his little hair with his hand.
Three other patients were waiting in the corridor. "You must leave," the nurse told his wife, "you are in danger."
The woman smiled, "I will not leave," she said calmly and politely.
They looked into each other's eyes, two women, one young and one much older. A whole minute, it was like two armies just before pouring on each other. ''I want you to do me a favor '' the woman said loudly, I want you to bring a screen and stay with me for a minute. '' '' Why should I do this? '' whispered the nurse, in surprise.
"You are very beautiful! I want to know if my husband regretted marrying an ugly woman like me."
The nurse took off her surgical mask. The upper part of her lips was full of scratches. "Do you still insist?" She smiled provocatively. "Bring the screen!" The older woman stepped forward and stood next to her husband.
In a little while the screen had covered all three of them.
"Abraham looked at us," the woman said, taking off her mask.
The nurse took a deep breath, feeling something block her breathing.
The man opened his eyes with difficulty. "Do you recognize which of the two is your wife?" His wife asked, emphasizing the words one by one. Abraham laughed and shook both his legs, then raised his arms, turned his head and his eyes seemed to want to be thrown out, it was like a puppet, his whole body made small jerky movements.
The nurse started laughing, the woman next to her did the same, they made the same movements as Abraham. The screen fell to the floor and then a small miracle was revealed, furniture maker Abraham Munch laughed and jumped on his stretcher just before he stopped breathing forever.
