“… the forgotten, remembered…”

I lived a life in shame,
no one knows my name.

I asked these people for food,
no one ever gives me a look.

Amidst this urban valley,
I lived in the dark alleys.

No one remembers me,
my only good friends are the fleas.

Now that I am gone forever,
I hope that you’ll treat me fairer.

I never owned this place,
but I’ll finally have my space.

Now place me in glory,
for this is my story.

The Urban Valley – of the forgotten, of the fragments of society, of those who have fallen through.

Spaces to think and reflect.

Visual, light and sound. A space of multi-sensory experience.
