Memory patterns
Yesterday on our way to the park we've met a demo waving flags that I wasn't able to recognize.

Still, I've got an annoying feeling immediately that one experiences when seeing something familiar enough to catch attention but not enough to remember what is it.

An Englishman's home is his castle

An interesting story I was told today about this small white house disrespectfully breaking a big store apart. When that store was about to be built, one of the those owned houses at the future building site refused to sell his property to be demolished. Nevertheless, the store was built, but with a jag at front, which is still there.

White colour and abundance of small parts make this installation so defenceless and fragile, as well as piercingly sad. Really love the idea.
Still, can't help mentioning that this also a great idea for everybody who doesn't want his or her bicycle stolen or stripped of everything detachable.

Fasten a plate and a flower, paint it white, and you'll be able to park it in any area.
