TAR | by Eyal Dadon
“In darkness reminiscent of the lowest points of the ocean, Something thick enveloping every bone, making movement and breathing difficult. Every glowing spot could be a trap or your own tail. The line blurs between a lip kiss and gaping jaws. A forging fight is an act of love while a hug leaves behind only longing for warmth. Only corals that have been stepped on can grow in the depths of the tar.” Itamar Jr. Azulay
