There is something strange about winter time, especially when you live in a big city. It’s really a mix of wonders at both ends of the spectrum: beautiful and ugly.

Uncovered of its vegetal garment, stripped of its waterways that now lie dormant under snow and ice, this city of yours becomes an alien.

You walk the same streets, visit same parks, gather in the same places… but something feels different. Where is the vibe that you are used to? Where are the overwhelming crowds?

Is this a good moment to retreat in your cove or is this the moment when you are finally able to see? You are now able to understand the “optical unconsciousness”!
