From the ground,
one could only see a whimsical white streak
on the blue screen of the sky.
It was inversion - a trace of rarefied vapors
trailing behind the plane.
S. Vishenkov
“Testers” (1947)
Distortion of meanings, alteration of directions, change of benchmarks are what surrounds us every second. Most choose to look away so as not to watch. Only a few try to see so as not to miss. Lose focus, and the thread slips away. Close your eyes, and the essence flips to its opposite. In times yet to be named, we believe: the bottom line is we should see and not look away.
