Falling Apart by Design

by Alan Navarra

The journal of a Filipino urban worker at the crossroads of moving forward and giving up. Told through burst essays, fever dreams, complaints, headlines, and notes to self, it is a record of someone fighting for their soul while condemning it under their tired over-burdened, taxpaying primate breath. It is a visual log of a faceless man in the mob who rages for the spirit of humanity while crushing its pathetic nature under the weight of his headaches.
