Italian photographer, Alessio Trerotoli, superimposes hundreds of different images to create city artworks.
Oh God,
The entanglements and complexities
Of our worldly earth
Are overwhelming.
Sometimes its beauty and goodness
Are strangled and hampered
By the webs of civilization.
But most of the time
Your splendor survives
And shines through strongly
Despite the barriers,
For those who want to see and feel
And appreciate.
Grant that we,
Caught in the traps of materialism,
May realize
That we too are rooted
On the earth,
Which was created by your love;
So that we may have the strength
To persevere, and grow and flourish
Despite the entrapments and burdens
Of our times,
To be able to share in and reflect
The beauty and peace in the world,
And the goodness and love
Of You.
