From series "Colonies of Imperceptible Beings". As trust and communal belonging becomes increasingly fraught, humans parse life into quantifiable commodities, extricating themselves from the web of nature and all living things into which they were born. I choose to be small and enduring in communion with vast horizons and indefinite colonies of infinitesimal and imperceptible beings living (with)in open land. I dream in their presence and fear their loss.
