Animal advocates argue that animals have the same rights as humans. Computer fans marry some on a laptop, some on a character from World of Warcraft. And the Hungarian artist Lajos Major takes pictures in which he brings the letters to life.
Having your own view of the world, its laws and the cause-and-effect paradigm is a prerequisite for every creative person. You need to find your place on the artistic Olympus, based on your own idea of the Universe.

And, indeed, what can be interesting in disgusted people, if there is a practically unexplored artistic and pictorial world of letters?
