All the Cities of the North

Amidst a landscape of decay and neglect, remnants of life still linger. Abandoned bungalows dot the horizon, while an artificial lake reflects the detritus of human existence—discarded plastic bottles, wandering donkeys, and stray dogs. Draining pipes snake across salt fields, and deserted factories stand as monuments to a forgotten past. Statues of revolutionaries watch over overgrown playgrounds, where memories of childhood are buried beneath weeds. Amid the chaos, a single room holds a blue tent, evoking a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, as pop songs from decades past echo through the silence, leaving a bittersweet taste of lost moments.
