{pp}The world I paint has no future.
It is a self-contained place without apparent movement.
Yet on closer scrutiny, movement of a sort can be perceived.
A receding pull from the past, to the past.
This pull stems from the exploration of the old roads, an attempt to discover among these paths that which has been forgotten or overlooked.
Strangely, when discovered, the relics that inspire my world carry with them qualities that resonate with the uncertainty we usually associate with the future; their unfamiliarity stems from their connection with a now distant world. - Nowicki 2007
