This series is a diary of my everyday insecurities observed in and through the landscapes I experienced.<\/p>\n

As an exploration of my own personal psychogeographical interpretation, I tried to see the city\u2019s defining features to feel more confortable in such a tide.<\/p>\n

London is a city with a captivating pattern of\u00a0<\/span>buildings, in which one immediately breathes its acrid and human identity. An ocean of red bricks catches the eye and repeats itself, unifying and bringing harmony to the city; their warm colour and granular texture make you want to reach out and touch such a vast ocean whose end you cannot see.<\/p>\n

A contemporary caput mundi<\/i> inhabited by a\u00a0<\/span>fragmented humanity of individuals driven by a common desire to fulfill themselves, constantly\u00a0<\/span>searching for something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The British Isle is geographically detached from the European continent but its roots lie in a common ground that are inextricably linked to Europe for historical, political and economic reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I left England exactly one month before they voted to leave the European Union. It was a very hard blow for everyone. Yet, another example of a divisive policy that believes it can preserve its identity by building more barriers.<\/p>\n

Britons are islanders and they feel like it, living on an island in the middle of the world, but like everyone else they need bridges, bonds and connections to survive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one can really be an island, not even England.<\/p>\n

“No man is an island entire of itself; every man
\n<\/span>is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;…” John Donne<\/span><\/p>\n
