— The sickly flowers [Unspoken II]

Second piece from the “Non-dit” collection: unique piece mixing drawing and text.

Your way of loving is unhealthy, it's when I tell you that it's all over that your love finally seems to awaken. Suddenly, you are optimistic, caring, tender and even understanding. Your feelings seem to be like those sick flowers that only become more beautiful when they are "about to be pulled out." As soon as we ask them to be themselves, to prove that they are not a mirage, a lie, a manipulation - they wither, and rot in a pretentious silence that takes our presence for granted. But, I am no longer fooled, dear little love, I know that there are flowers that do not pretend, like beings whose love never sleeps.
