Main Ideas
- Transcending the boundaries between dream and reality, where the real dissolves into the shifting outlines of memory and imagination, and each moment becomes a reflection of eternity.
- Meditations on the nature of creation and the fate of the writer, on the futility of trying to capture the fleeting world in words, when the word itself is only a shadow of the inexpressible.
- A constant return to the theme of time as a labyrinth, where past, present, and future merge into a single fabric of being, and man is but a wanderer among mirrors.
- Motifs of doubling, mirrors, and repetition, where each story is an echo of another, and every image a reflection of an infinite multitude of meanings.
- A philosophical contemplation of oblivion and memory, where recollections become the only refuge of the self, and forgetting is an inseparable part of the human condition.
- Immersion in mythology and cultural archetypes, where ancient plots acquire new resonance, and myth becomes a way of seeking truth.
- An ironic and tender attitude toward everyday life, in which the poetry of ordinary things and the grandeur of small events are hidden.
