No matter how much moles think they understand the land they dig, the alluvium will never understand moles and most of the times, the tunnels are lost or clogged up . However, the mole will persist in its blind and stubborn plan to dig as far as possible, with tireless and unshakeable determination.
A mole’s tenacity is one of the most amazing qualities to adopt. It can literally make golf course caretakers go mad and force them to take extreme measures in order to exterminate them.
This quality is not based on belief, but on instinct.
When did us, humans, forget to get attuned to this drive, this incredible sense of what has to be done, here, now? No procrastination, no hesitation. Just digging.

North Pole
She was standing there, just as in North Pole.
Whatever the direction we took from that point, it was South.

It’s what I can’t name in these photographs what haunts me when I am not watching them.
All the questions that rise up (stories, exotic nature of strangers, serendipious glimpses of night dreams) are symbols of my faith. All this beauty offered to me, all these secrets, tangled, abounded, inexhaustible, like mirages over the shadows of a desert.
