CLEAN AS A BLANK PAGE
'Since the beginning, mankind is sleeping. Without any resistance against. Without knowing the reason why. In fact, the answer is as easy as sleep itself; we just fall into sleep as all other living creatures do on earth! Although science explains the process, findings are insufficient to clarify it all. It's still a "dark light" or a "white shadow" for us. It's shapeless, slippery, sleepy that means it's like "love" we'd say... It comes, seizes and flies you away. Just therefore it is a "poetic" concept.'
