The Anglers (Black Bridge), 1942

You have dreams. Then there are dreams based on the previous dreams. And you are dreaming about something that is derived from those dreams. At some point, you have started implementing your dreams. You build something concrete that spans your dreams - a bridge. It didn't come out exactly as you dreamed. When you are implementing your dream, you are losing a dream, but you are gaining reality.

Window Study 3, 1985

A window is a connection with outside world. It is your bridge out. Some bridges you want to build. Some bridges you want to burn. Some bridge you cross because you have to. Every window, every bridge, every connection has two sides. Sometimes the feelings you have while you are spanning the bridge are similar to the party on the other end, but in most cases they are different. Your life is a huge window constructed from myriads of small, big and tiny windows.Each one of those windows has a set of bridges crossed, spanned or burnt.
