Plexus

2025 • 5 min • United States, United States

That warning is a hazard-break against the viewpoint that there exists continuity and equilibrium of free thought. In strictly visual and aural terms, Plexus is a lethargic, hapless burnout. Yet, there is an undeniable buoyancy of an undiminished spirit: E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
