A woman asks the man, who are you?
Man replied I am pickpocket.

Woman surprised by this naked admission – do you mean that you pick other people’s pockets?

THERE IS NO SPACE IN BETWEEN

(“You’re either with us or against us” George Bush’s famous speech after September 11 event.)

Let’s have brief glimpses how the world arrived here and where it is going. This is not a historical account in any way, just personal observations as an artist.
