about

Mars;
My alienation, my fascination with the planets
My life which has been formed/deformed and influenced by the presence of Mars.
The ancient Greek God of war.

A sense of strangeness resides within me. Reasons change from city to city. Labels vary. The abstract truth remains in an indefinite exile, without a land and without a place to call home.
