WESTERN WALL, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (September 16, 2010)
Even from afar, the wall appeared massive and imposing. Its exposed section is 19 meters tall and composed of 29 layers of stone from various time periods; however, it also reaches deep into the ground with 17 more layers of stone (and 13 more meters) to the bottom of its foundation.
The Western Wall is what remains of that which surrounded the Temple Mount, the site of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem, the most sacred place for Jewish people. It is nicknamed the Wailing Wall due to the lamentations of pilgrims who consider it a source of inspiration that has, for may generations, moved them to pray. It has kept the memory of their Temple alive.
Today, the air about the Prayer Plaza, where one views the Wall, was thick with the sound of yearning.

muro del pianto, jerusalem, 2023

since im on a roll about tragedies:
i am sick to death of fourth wall breaks that are funny. i want fourth wall breaks that make me want to cry.
give me hamlet looking up during his monologue to see the audience and plead with them for help. give me orpheus, on the road back up from the underworld begging us to make sure eurydice is there, to tell him she is safe. give me orpheus turning when the audience stays silent.
give me someone, bloody and full of tears monologuing to the camera when the narrative has wound itself so tight that they can't escape it anymore.
"youre just watching me. help me. im dying and im rotting and im losing myself and you wont do a thing."
i want the tragedy to be the performance. i want the tragedy to be, truly, in the eyes of the beholder.
