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.
