Rat

Rat is missing

“No articles could be foundThe rat is us, and those depicted in this series, we are all flesh. We will all die unexpectedly, we are all rats crossing the road and one day a car will run us over, no feelings, nothing. Ultimately, the rat has no name - and in time, neither will you. We are all lost in an endless meaningless world, trying to grasp at something. These people aren’t more special than us, we make history, we dictate our own experience, they have significance, because we give them. They are just as much rats squished on the pavement as we are, and one day we will all forget and they will die.“History is ours, and people make history.” (AS)”
