5// It is possible that we often look at something similar

without seeing it. We do not see what we perceive. We do not see what we are looking at. We do not see the extraordinary perspectives and the shortening of objects.

The nature of the wind has slowly but deeply caressed the genuine concrete. Memories of the past, and the indifference of the present, have left the Soviet Modernist constructions lost in time and behind the dust of a new generation that doesn’t want to look back.
