Once upon a time, in a land far far away a man wore many hats. One hat, then another, never two or more as one head could fit only one solitary cover. Once upon another time, in a land devoid of manners the man tried many hats, one upon the other till the head could not bare another. The neck broke and the art choked, leaving the man without a head, without a proper place to put a hat. Once upon a time, art could survive the loss of a head, the whispers of voices becoming spoken truths of stillness. Once upon a time, far far away, hats ruled our lives – in silence.
