Notes

This work investigates the landscape of the soul. Having a fleeting glimpse of eternity. It leaves you breathless. Weightless – falling into the remains of love. The dimness of our reflection in the mirror of the universe leaves us gasping for immortality, as we sink into the abyss of the self.
