the duplicity becomes entity.

the backside becomes frontside.

the theatrical becomes ordinary.

the disguise becomes a dress.

the barracks become dwellings.

the chimera becomes concrete.

the rock becomes textile.

the drapes become stone.

the boulder becomes the domino.

the domino becomes history.

the tent remains.
