Wet brick emanating a smell of decomposed wood ready to end in dust. Lichen was traditionally used to make perfume from its woody notes, textile dye for beautiful shades of blue, purple and violet or for the lighting of an oil lamp but the moss was also a bait to kill wolves and foxes. Facing the wall, everything seems moldy but it might also be a door to all windows.
