A Palimpsest?

Is seems that disasters or catastrophes supersede mere interpretation or mere understanding. They even surpass sheer description. Their qualitative and quantitative values that cannot be so easily isolated and examined. Perhaps “isolation” could be a wrong approach. Perhaps disasters and catastrophes should be perceived only in_association_with and in_relation_to i.e. human existence and psychic, and therefore anthropomorphic. An interesting observation is also the fact the catastrophes caused sequentially by nature, move in a hermeneutical cycle, instead of moving towards recurring mechanistic circles of causalities. This hermeneutical cycle seems to elevate 'new awareness' due to the previous stages in the cycle causing thus multiple layers of awareness_es and thus a deeper understanding.

A few pictures: 1] from an earthquake in 1953 in Zante, Greece where my grandmother almost lost her life and my father had to change his life radically in order to support his family. 2] working on the visual representation of a catastrophy.
