Black and white broadside with the following text: The world is getting empty of everyone I know, one by one, in every direction they are leaving this world, for some people everyone they know has died. A second poster says: Treat a complete stranger as a lover, hug them as good friends, as they are or as 10 years ago you might have had fabulous sex with absolute abandon with the same stranger. Now life is ravaged and we offer from the same root boundless compassion.

TO LOVE–TO DIE; TO FIGHT. TO LIVE.

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene yet haunting urban scene enveloped in heavy fog. Tall, slender palm trees stretch toward the sky, their leaves softly blurred by the mist. A modern high-rise building looms in the background, its sharp edges softened by the fog, giving it a ghostly, ethereal quality. In the foreground, a person dressed in dark clothing stands on a grassy hill, holding a leash as their dog joyfully runs ahead. The contrast between the dark figure and the bright fog emphasizes their isolation within the scene. Further up the hill, a small figure in white appears, adding a sense of mystery and scale. The interplay of light, shadow, and fog creates a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between urban life and nature, as well as the solitude found within bustling environments.
