both images, the one above the other below, have one common element: they trespass the realm of the coherent or the definitive, thus offering the spectator, the standing figure of the man in the foreground, a full access to the subtle realms of ambiguity, mainly that vast realm of imagination known as 'the world of dreams'.
instinctively i thought of Italo Calvino, the kind of man that posessed the power to transform such stimulating images to enchanting and ingenious fairy tales. simultaneously, i saw this figure of the pensive man as U newandreas.
you're evasive newandreas, certainly elusive, but without reason, my previous comment now that i look at it again seems to me like a 'σουφλέ' that didn't 'puff' in the oven.
it has been an ominous day today, but i'll give it a try tomorrow.
