TRANSITION

Shanghai, China August 2005

The building site had promised to replace silences with windows. Then the workers left, leaving a cable to beat against the void like an unfinished message. Opposite, the tower continues to rise, indifferent. Perhaps someone will return to look, beneath the dust, for the key to a door that was never installed.

Against the scarred façades, the tower sketches an almost overly straight future. The music stretches this face-off, awaiting a story: a clandestine departure, a city to reclaim, or a fragile promise. “Brave New World” turns the ruin into the threshold of a world still uncertain.
