This collection is a reaction to the structure of a city which is neither my birthplace nor my hometown. I visit it as a guest and pass by it as an onlooker. It is as if I look at in from outside as an observer and right at a moment when it is going through a chaotic experience in the constant, monotonous and useless shadow of the immensity of a megacity as vast as the letter “T”, I paint it without trying to use propagandistic symbols.
