Played around with a trail photo (from my forest walk).

[ Choices By #NikkiGiovanni.

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do

It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do

If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want

Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral

When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal

I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry. ]

Two paths through a forest tunnel, a central tree divides the image, the left side in grayscale and the right in blue.  Trees arch over each path, creating a tunnel effect, and the ground is covered in leaves.

First units of a paper kusudama ball put together. They are shaped as five-point stars joined by curly edges. The papers are yellowish pages from an old book, in greek.

Photo of a subway station in Athens. There are no people around. The frame is divided horizontally in two distinct and almost equally sized parts. The lower is the view of a wide staircase and a hall, with grey walls and glossy tiles, artificial light and hard angles.
The top part is darker, in brown shades. It's just the wall above the staircase, covered by an enlarged photo of an ancient marble relief depicting three seated figures, contrasting the lower part with its harmonic lines and the depiction of relaxed human figures.

#dyads, #portals and an echo of #inktober

A digital sketch and a recent photo, side by side. There's an apparent similarity. Both images posted before.
Left, the sketch: A narrow black door. It's bricked from outside and barricaded with 10 grey boards from inside. There's s tiny opening on the right, a hole that shines in the general grey darkness of the frame.
Right: A window of an abandoned house, bricked with grey cement blocks. A few rows of thin clay bricks from another era are still in place where there once was a window sill, under the blocks. The wall around the window is roughly plastered. The lower part of it before the ground is naked, letting the old stonework see the light.
