A Moonlit Veil

An invitation
To be humiliated
An invitation
To be where your feet are
An invitation
To be seen and see
An invitation
To look again

With no head
The world
Not just for humans
Matter continuously passing through the universe
Nature is an event that never stops
Boundaries between individualities disappearing
Interconnected

You are the mountains and the moon  
An invitation
To seek your own disappearance

Let it come

Let it go

Begin

Again

A ceiling installation consisting of hand-printed flags on 100 gr. Kozo paper, unifies the exhibition.
