Bak loves words, puns and creating puzzles.
Life is a puzzle.
What does Endure is his constant search for meaning in the midst of mayhem.

Hocus-pocus is presented as HOPE and US and US.
Magic amidst broken repairs.
The nail and the hammer nail down the meaning that none of us understand.

How do we draw meaning from these evocative figures and images?
We need some hocus-pocus to help us.
Here is hoping so!
