Amsterdam: Stalking

"Amsterdam: Stalking" is a visual metaphor for inner freedom, inspired by the worlds of Carlos Castaneda.
Stalking is the art of a warrior or person of knowledge pretending that their actions are important, even though they know that ultimately they are insignificant. This allows one not to attach undue importance to oneself and ones actions, to act with complete dedication, but without emotional attachment and fear, allowing one to be flexible, patient, and endlessly improvisational.

A bicycle is balance in motion.
It requires attention, but not tension.
The point is not in prohibitions, but in freedom.
Because it is freedom, not restrictions, that teaches us to maintain balance.
When a person is free, they choose responsibility themselves,
find their own measure, and become attentive to every movement.
It is not external control that makes a person knowledgeable,
but internal discipline born of trust in oneself and the world.

Amsterdam convinced me of a simple thing: it is not those who are restrained who become warriors (people of knowledge), but those who are allowed to be free and who have managed to hold on to that freedom. The picture is compiled from my photo materials.
