- by Barbara Arcuschin
When I entered into the different buildings, there was stuff everywhere. Furniture, broken doors...all the scenes you imagine from a movie. Ghosts everywhere. Children playing with parents, teachers instructing students, hospitals filled with patients.
A place where time no longer exists.
All you can hear are the sounds of nature. Every building, every structure, every man-made place is entirely still. I can imagine the beauty of these places, but laid on top, unavoidable: contamination, death and the lives left behind.
