The waiting, the anticipation, the curiosity regarding the quality of what has already happened or is about to unfold. A constant cycle of pulling away, drawing closer, and drifting apart again—like poles facing one another.

Can you hold me, carry me, endure me?

The idea was born of a vision. Of a desire. To restore the connection to nature — to rediscover it — with our bodies serving as the conduit. A body that, in nature, has long since ceased to exist.
“Never before had my gaze fallen upon them  — upon these beings whose stillness holds all life within.”
