THRESHOLD

Stanza 2

I am afraid.

I do not know 

how far I will fall.

How fast I will fall.

Stanza 2 explores the nature of the THRESHOLD as a meeting place between worlds or realities, our relationship with it, and how it exists within different time frames (eternal or momentary).

​

While HOLLOW belongs to the state of the 'self' or the 'I',

THRESHOLD belongs to the sensate realm of 'relationship' and the 'we'.

​

After emerging from the repressive space of HOLLOW, I found myself 'lost' and 'wandering as I ventured into THRESHOLD. Searching and disorientation played a big part in the real time reflection received.

​

Now in dialogue with the natural world, the expanse of open space sees THRESHOLD navigate edges and moments of transition as the passage of grief makes its way through a certain 'no-mans-land'.​

 

In the place where we feel the presence of a loved one - but they cannot be seen, grief's twilight zone visits the edge of the unknown, the moment before tears, the space between breath, presence and omnipresence, memory and the eternal.​
