The wind was still, but present that day, May 4th 2010. At the Dam Square our bodies were assembled and anonymous, crushed within a crowd that had gathered in solidarity and yet waited for the worst. As the screams sounded and the bodies broke, we suddenly realize – we are outside and vulnerable. We move again – to escape, tearing away in the opposite direction. Finally inside we breathe a sigh of relief – locked in from the outside. We stop and wait.
