Ladies and gentlemen, this is a hijack. Years lived mute, observing, absorbing, waiting for a time of passion and furious, astonishing life. Then the cracks appear. After a while, everything false falls away or madness comes, a relief…another breath. This is for all of those un-lived days, a distinct call for justice against paperwork, dead time and dishonesty. An embrace to confusion, the wild days and the dissection of masks & loveless times.
