______________________
The sound pulls, dragging consciousness into existence
Scratching, harrowing, digging, stroking, pinching, rinsing through time
Cultivating the yeast for brewing
Fermenting the remnants of the harvest
Releasing the fresh aroma of plants
Constructing a foreign land of freedom
The sound draws, pulling consciousness into existence
Listening, gazing, writing, speaking, growing, detaching through time
Exploring the sovereign (root) within the heart
Tilling the original soul
Entering the deep wounds of the heart
Revisiting the dreams once lived
Now, deconstruct the innings of consciousness through the sound of substance.
For the revelation, to the living and the perishing, destined, and luminous.
Kòe Ô͘ / Across the Lake was originally a full-dome audiovisual work completed in 2023.
