Freeing Images in Dust
Descriptive Phrase
And what if we haven't any self-image to cult anymore? We would be free to feel, smell, touch, see? To live?
A mirror rests on a table. Many fans are arranged around it. At the touch of my hand on the mirror, the fans blow. As I watch my reflection, the wind blows with more and more strength. Little by little, i see myself being turned into dust. While the fans blow, my image dissolves into grains. My dust floating through the air to disappear. The wind ceases. Now, there no longer remains anything. Just me and my empty glass. I am free?

Abstract
A mirror rests on a table. Many fans are arranged around it. At the touch of my hand on the mirror, the fans blow. As I watch my reflection, the wind blows with more and more strength. Little by little, i see myself being turned into dust. While the fans blow, my image dissolves into grains. My dust floating through the air to disappear. The wind ceases. Now, there no longer remains anything. Just me and my empty glass. I am free?
