NOTE

Inscription: Limited space surrounding my studio; the only light comes from the opened window. Wandering between sleepiness and awakening; you suddenly realized the ever growing skyscrapers outside. The tiny openings between these high-rises featuring fragments of clouds that occupied what is left of my window dream. Should you have seen the beauty of mountains and streams, you would share my sentiment and cherish this concrete forest. The landscape of my mind thus becomes my own mindscape.
