i resolve to try to post more frequently, even things like these, flat, random collections of buildings.

if - hibernate

a drawing more related to the provided quote than what i would normally associate with the word 'hibernate'.

"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book (Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death." ~ Anais Nin

attempts at skies

if - mesmerizing

if - imperfect

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
- Leonard Cohen

IF - gesture

a old doodle from the days of my student exchange in milan... it's a good thing the language lends itself to much gesturing, i'm sure i would have understood a lot less of the lessons otherwise.
