Ars poetica
Cardboard is mysterious, magical, exciting, just like a woman. 
The surface touches warm and smooth, hiding secret waves. 
Take a careless move, you tear it apart and humiliate it. 
Turn towards it with sensitive attention, you find a giving, gentle and flexible partner, who inspires and supports you.
Recognize and respect its hidden strength, you find a tough, strong and durable material. You can create and build a world with it. You can entrust it with your objects, your valuables, your secrets, yourself
