Affinity Konar Quote: “We walked and wheeled and trudged past the gates without the eye of the camera to note the grandeur of the event. Without costume. Without photographers.

Affinity Konar Quote: “There should have been paintings for us to see. Pictures of things real and not real, of landscapes and people. But in that moment, we could find only a portrait of ruin.

Affinity Konar Quote: “We stood for roll call in that early-morning light, our noses twitching in an effort to shake the stench of ash and the unwashed. September’s heat lingered in the air.

Looking at this monument he’d made to our anger, I saw that we were children still, but mercenary children, half-murdered troublers. I had to wonder what such a child looked like. I stalked about the velvets of this tearooms looking for some opportune reflection. But the darkness was unrelenting; the shards of glass said nothing about appearances at all.”
