We plunge ourselves in the crowd, people bumping into us, pushing us;
they mill around us, indiscriminately. The wall of people surrounding
us is the wall against which our confused identities bounce. We are
enclosed by the walls of our homes and the outside hangs over us and
seeps into our shell. The interior space is part of a communication
that deprives us of our intimacy. The threshold between inside and outside,
between public and private is dissolving. Intimacy is a state of mind,
an interior journey of ever increasing exclusion and estrangement from
others. We leave the crowd behind and one only faint image, our own,
walks towards us. We move in bewilderment inside this new dimension
we just conquered: the space of separation is a garden to take care
of and to discover, our eyes shut...
