The walk on the edge of the sun

What if Icarus, upon reaching the sun, discovered an unimaginable truth—not only about the nature of the sun itself, which turned out to be cold and angular, but above all about the nature of his own imaginings? It was they that caused him to burn long before reaching his destination. What happens when we cross the boundary of fear? The horizon begins to settle. The primordial storm and chaos give way to an emerging order.

I feel an atmosphere of hope and change that, as a child, I was only barely aware of. Goods from the West were flowing into Poland, the world was becoming colorful — we had pizza, Turbo chewing gum, Caro cigarettes and unfiltered Klubowe. This is how I now see the landscape of those years. In my father’s view, steel was a solid, durable, and trustworthy material. It seems that the rest of society shared this opinion as well. According to him, steel serves a purpose — it fulfills a function. It has no aesthetic value, but it does have properties: load resistance, elasticity, shrinkage, melting temperature. In his opinion, steel should be powder-coated — it should not be left raw,
