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.

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.
