Every city has streets and alleys that act as short cuts and have a unique appearance. Every city has its own specific energy that varies depending on the changes in the fields of politics, culture, economics and mass communication, which affect the appearance of the city internally and externally. The city heavily carries her legs trying to search the remaining ruins of her body, between the walls of her old streets, the smelly cafes and the old buildings.
