I see this place in various mediated ways. The places we bomb seen thru media seem unreal, but they are very real. https://www.google.be/search?q=homs+syria&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqg6KmoMDTAhVJtRQKHWd1AvAQ_AUIBigB&biw=2010&bih=1102#tbm=isch&q=homs+syria+before+war

How are ruins created? We tend to think of romantic ruins, ruins we visit, de-militarized, we claim them as our own. Is that what I am doing when I use a piece of software to recreate? Is it wrong to want to see a destroyed town like this?

I contemplate these ruins in the only way I know how, to place myself within them. It is meant as a personal tool to contemplate destruction.
