Pentagono

The pentagon-shaped military fortresses are complex systems built in the 1500s to defend themselves against the fire of artillery and the assault of siege engines. Sixteenth-century architects seem to have unwittingly been inspired by the complex defense systems of the human body such as the immune system to defend itself against virus attacks. There are others such as the central nervous system that sends us signals and symptoms such as anxiety, depressed mood, psychological discomfort generated by pathogenic macro and microorganisms of all kinds, which in turn cause conflicts that involve a reaction of the cardio-vascular system as well as the immune system. All events that arise from infinite relationships that directly or indirectly condition the choices of our life and determine the perception of ourselves, our Self, our identity. Inside the pentagon-shaped wooden body, air flows constantly reshape the position of many compass needles. Our Self is nothing concrete and material, the fortress, the citadel within us is only a representation, an appearance made up of flows of ethereal relationships. With respect to conflicts and everything that happens independently of our will, where are we and what do we decide or choose?
