Moscow, 2019

the striker

I don't know how the desire to fight arises, but I know that moment when a feeling of unbearability arises inside the body — when there is not enough air in the chest, and at the same time an almost beastly rage is born in response. It's not clear where this aggression is aimed: it seems to me that I am Don Quixote fighting against windmills. I want to strike, but my hand falls into the void. Something important has slipped away, only increasing my frustration. Where, when, and how does the desire to fight arise in the air? Where does this primary impulse originate?
