Beyond this vale,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.

(James Montgomery)

Beyond the vale, both in time and space, is the metropolis. The city is a matrix where life is continually destroyed and generated. Modern cities are made of millions and millions of tons of steel and concrete… they can be dangerous, overwhelming and asphyxiating. They can swing silently over our heads, and then suddenly hit, grab, entangle and swallow us up. They can be unpredictable, but at the end of the day, they are made by and for human beings. From the beginning of time to current day, we create a space that we believe is best for us and the society we live in.

A crowd will always be stronger than an individual. When a cohesive group of people deal with the unpredictability of urban spaces, it always finds a way to dodge any difficulties it may encounter. Life has and always will defeat death. The history of evolution has taught us that life will not be contained. Life breaks free; it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, dangerously, frantically, even painfully.
