The fear starts with me turning into a manifestation of grief It grows into the zeitgeist of the decade electing puppets that know how to let it serve them The panic starts with me turning into a pilgrim of atheists who journey towards confusion which becomes a weapon for the headstrong mob The trust starts [...]

I live in the extremes of life. Even though it can be said that the closer we are to the extremes, the further we are from life. In a sense, extremes are a veiled longing for death. Extremes for an artist is to persevere and finish the project she/he's been working at for months. But [...]
