Pink Spheres
On a stone ledge someone has left a pile of plastic bags and old clothes. Above a doorway nearby, a cluster of giant pink balls hangs with plants trailing out of them, like strange fruit growing from the building. Around the corner, the yellow sign of an old metal workshop, “O Michalis”, is slowly being swallowed by ivy. Further on, a narrow lane disappears under a tunnel of vines. At its end, a painted woman’s face looks back from a wall.
