Chapter 4: The Secret Life of Stone
In this vampire city of Prague
Shrouded in gray and fog,
Listen close to the whispers in the air
The walls speak, do beware.
Underneath the stones
Above and below
Prague has many lives
All of its own –
A secret life of stone.

The Secret Life of Stone is a photography series that explores the wishes, hopes and memories of Prague’s statues as well as imaginary histories of Prague. The series is also related to the upcoming third installment to Sezin’s first novel, American Monsters.
My dear Zuzu, your recent posts have brought a smile to my lips and inspiration to my heart, when I recognize the messages your work has for me. Perhaps A Secret Life of Stone will make its way to my home someday, for certainly there are American Monsters in Istanbul? XO
Catherine! That is a great idea! Who knows, I may end up monstering with my hybrids for the rest of my life. Not a bad way to go, if you ask me. 🙂 Thank you for the inspiration in kind. And thank you for following these “silly” little stories. xoxoxo
