Once, the peaceful, quiet world was populated by few. Then, "others" arrived, building tall buildings to fill the sky, making "so much NOISE that no one could hear themselves think! So they stopped thinking." Still the small, strange protagonist, one of the early "few," nurtures "a little piece of wilderness" high above the streets. When he feels the time is right, he takes this piece away and sends it aloft, nourishing new hope for the few.

This is clearly a fantasy with a message of hope triumphing over despair as we watch one bit of light grow and one "fragment of wilderness" tended in the darkness until the time comes for it to be free. The pages demand involvement as we puzzle the meaning.
...Craste is an award-winning creator of animated shorts, and is making a film of this book. Perhaps it'll make more sense on the screen...
