The City that Started as a Square

The City that Started as a Square is a picture book about growth, expansion, and the relentless drive to become more. It follows the transformation of a small village on a vast, empty plain into an all-encompassing, ever-expanding cosmopolis—where complexity and absurdity grow with every step. Disguised as a children’s book, this publication blends humor, philosophy, and social critique to explore the tension between ambition and the consequences of globalization, inviting readers to reflect on the ever-repeating “more-more” loop in which we so often find ourselves caught.
