A work wherein surrealistic thoughts take a hyperrealistic form, giving us the impression that the visual experience is breaking away at a distance of two exhausted deserts from the endless see of ideas that are, by the way, towering in front of it like mountains. You understand, don't you!?
Which was first: the hen or the egg? Let's put it that way: which was first, the work or the artist? This question is what our hero is concerned about while he is falling from one story to another, struggling to find and seize the woman of his desires, the eternal Muse. (By this time he does not know yet that it is not finding and seizing but seeking and having desires what is indeed importatn.) Therefore, aour artist, falling into the trap of his own works, realizes that every time in a different form though but he keeps writing the very same work, in addition the subject of which can be described as horribly trivial: his maniac attraction to the WOMAN, or in a simple way: LOVE. (It also comes later when he starts to have the feeling that his stories are not written by himself but by Life, and he is only drifted by the tide.) Still, there is nothing to be ashamed of in all these. However, he ought to face the yuestion: do we create or are we the created ones?
