ROA. Djerba(-hood), Tunisia, 2014

I don't like work... but I like what is in work - the chance to find yourself. Your own reality - for yourself, not for others - which no other man can ever know.

- Joseph Conrad, The Heart of Darkness

ROA, Blackbird - Ghent, Belgium, 2009

If you don't make mistakes, you don't make anything.

You must squeeze out of yourself every sensation, every thought, every image, - mercilessly, without reserve and without remorse: you must search the darkest corners of your heart, the most remote recesses of your brain, - you must search them for the image, for the glamour, for the right expression. And you must do it sincerely, at any cost: you must do it so that at the end of your day's work you should feel exhausted, emptied of every sensation and every thought, with a blank mind and an aching heart, with the notion that there is nothing - nothing left in you.

- Joseph Conrad

Happiness, happiness ... the flavour is with you - with you alone, and you can make it as intoxicating as you please.
