is like the dialogue of mine with me.. I tried to combine the interior things keeping inside me and the obvious things 
seen very clear. I discharged everything inside me as if  mind expanding by only the eyes.. I hope I can reflect my light.. Surely as long as you see yourself, you see less each time…the cut of paper
