In order to survive, a body, as well as a city, employs a number of different strategies. Some of said strategies are put into action to defend the organism. They can manifest in reflexive gestures, acts of disobedience, conscious activities, or maybe even considered plans. But some of them are also completely unconscious, they are, what a psychologist would usually call: defence-mechanisms. For some time now, they might have grown, and apparently, they are still on someone’s mind. They dwell in remote places, usually very well hidden, but in case they appear they can take on complex and misleading shapes: shapes designed to hide their true intentions. What these entities reveal of themselves is beautiful and also equally ugly. They might distract or even deceive the same organism that was responsible for shaping them slowly.
