BLACK HOLES

“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun

We are born into a world shaped by wars. We find ways to survive in this world. We adapt, we pick up the guns or we go into hiding.

We might not be aware of the violence the world has known before us. We might even be blind to the violence happening right in front of us. But all the time, some place, someone suffers the consequences. Black Holes if a metaphor for the inherent, inescapable violent nature of the world we create together.
