The Room Where It HappensIker Karrera

The empty horror of the 21st century speaks of our fear of a vacuum, of our era becoming void of content. Staying busy is the perfect solution to keep us from thinking. Repeating a long routine of distractions that overwhelm our soul, so as to avoid being left alone with our self. 

What happens when we decide to stop, and all of a sudden find ourselves face-to-face with that closed room where everything happens? What is hiding in there? 

One day, somewhere, some place, you will inevitably meet yourself, and that, only that, could be the happiest or bitterest moment in your life. In the words of Pablo Neruda.
