I am eternal

which I transformed into

I am NOT eternal

It's true

I'm currently having

problems with writing

and memory

what if I published a book of my MEMORIES?

I remember...

Come see if I remember you.

1. Should I censor myself?

2. Should I keep quiet?

3. Should I let myself go? write everything down?

4. Should I write down everything that happens in the world, including that I doubt everything?

What am I going to display?

I don't know yet

A chess table

Shelves with a text and plants

A disabled chair

With the text "That's life"

A table with objects to throw

Columns:

a column of artists' catalogs

pierced with their names clearly visible

a column of Annie's plates

a column of etc.
