Summary/Abstract: In a world where choices are abundant and variety is the key element, Carmen Sylva engages in a world of conciseness and fluid development rendered with sensory effects and vivid imagery alike. The rich symbolism of the metaphors suggests the volatility of humankind and nature, the incapacity to make proper decisions that could unveil smooth development in all the aspects of life, the weakness and lack of reliability that people generally avoid facing or discussing.
