About

In the past year I have found myself dealing with daily life habits in which I can’t detach, as if I’m stuck in an infinite loop. The rhythm and the frustrating Sisyphean melody of the Bolero are matching the way I experienced my life lately.

When one loop is over, we immediately find ourselves in the second one and so on. Are we enjoying this feeling? Do we really want to get out of the loop? What will happen if we’ll eventually free ourselves from it?
