Long-long ago, before pandemic and other global crises, long before I took a semi-professional camera in my hands, I lived on the 22nd floor and kept a mini-collection of tiny cacti and succulents. One day, I looked at the red guy and my imagination reinterpreted his top part as a cool hairstyle; and I thought: what if they were musicians? Carton, markers scissors — and voilà ! — they are ready for their first performance.
However, it took 10+ years and invention of AI models to put them onto the scene.
Both original and redacted photos are of poor quality (due to the obvious reasons), but they do represent a feeling of happinness for me, as well as a connection to my old self, and the power of imagination.
