Without Sun (Wandering in torpor)
torpor n.f. : General numbness, physical and mental, in a semi- consciousness or somnolence state. Awareness of the dark future approaching. This is not resignation, but rather a question: how to cope with an uncertain future? Meanwhile, we wait in a kind of latency, perhaps for a turning point. That moment when we can no longer ignore the emergency of action. In the meantime, it’s a wandering. In a kind of fog, a torpor that's thick at the same time without consistency. Like a never-ending night.
