Beyond the valley, both in time and space, lies the metropolis. The city is a matrix where life is continuously destroyed and generated. Modern cities are made of millions and millions of tons of steel and concrete…they can be dangerous, overwhelming and suffocating. They can silently swing over our heads and suddenly hit us, grab us, entangle us and swallow us. They can be unpredictable, but at the end of the day, they are made by and for humans. From the beginning of time to the present day, we create a space that we believe is best for us and the society we live in.
A crowd will always be stronger than an individual. When a cohesive group of people is faced with the unpredictability of urban spaces, they always find a way around any difficulties they may encounter. Life has and always will defeat death. The history of evolution has taught us that life will not be contained. Life is released; it expands into new territories and crashes through barriers, dangerously, frantically, even painfully.
