Navigating the Urban Expressionism:

To be a troublemaker is generally defined as someone who intentionally cause problems and does so habitually with an odd form of pleasure. But as the Anthropologist navigated though asphalt, concrete, metal, glass, brick on brick and so on, she began wondering; is there an alternative angle to the concept of troublemaking.

If born into a masculine landscape that blooms like an architectonical jungle imitating concepts of elegance and power and leaving the naturally divine merely as ghostly shadows - could one without recognition become a troublemaker, unintentionally causing problems just by participating in reality through habitually enjoying the benefits of technology and consumerism?

A clever man called Einstein once said that madness isn’t making a mistake, but making the same mistakes repeatedly expecting different results. With this thought the Anthropologist looked down at a tiny flower fighting its way through the small hole in a plastic lid lying sporadically on the sidewalk. In this urban landscape the wild and lesser cultivated nature seemed to appear mainly in places left soulless or abandoned to decay.
