“Wearing headphones is like inviting the magic in and locking the unwanted out.
A cocoon. A world just for you.
A soundtrack to a mood.
Your moves, your dreams.
To forget, for a moment.

The water. The industry.
Close, but yet far.
The (almost) straight line.

New meaning to the eyes through the ears.

(I have always been attracted to canals and water roads.
Maybe because of my roots (HK) and my upbringing (Antwerp).
There is a kind of timelessness when water is involved. Or time passes differently.
Wear good headphones, and just keep walking. Choose a sunny day to make this walk!)”

— Pak Yan Lau
