Hands are often associated with the act of creation. In many religious and spiritual traditions, the hand is seen as the instrument through which divine power is manifested. For example, in Michelangelo’s iconic painting “The Creation of Adam,” God’s outstretched finger reaches out to touch Adam’s, symbolizing the spark of life.

The Karl-Marx-Hof is a significant landmark in Vienna, Austria, and a prime example of the “Red Vienna” era of social housing. It is a Gemeindebau which is the German term for a type of municipal housing complex, a concept pioneered in Vienna during the early 20th century. The Karl-Marx-Hof is one of the longest continuous residential buildings in the world, stretching over 1,100 meters (0.68 miles).  

My dreams are flying

Balloons, spheres of vibrant hues,
Floating weightless, light as dewdrops.
They dance on the breeze,
Whimsical and free.
A fleeting moment of joy,
A burst of color against the sky.

Like dreams, they ascend towards the unknown,
Carrying hopes and wishes aloft.
A testament to the ephemeral nature of human life.
A reminder to cherish the present moment.
