Here are three thoughts that came to me during the long drive:
1/ A friend once said they were moved by the scenes of living in a new place, while also sensing something missing inside. I think about this sometimes — maybe we notice and appreciate something in others because a similar part exists within us too.
2/ When I stand in front of nature and feel the shifts in the landscape, the moisture, and the light, something strange happens — as I observe everything outside, an inner space that mirrors nature opens up inside of me.
3/ There’s an idea in psychology: we often recognize qualities in others that we feel we don’t have. But the strange thing is — if there were nothing inside us that responds to it, how would we be able to recognize it at all?
Golden Shadow is like seeing my own shadow reflected on others. It appears in the brief moments of sunrise and sunset. I try to present the scenery along the road and the inner dialogue that emerges.
This series was developed during the residency at 18th Street Arts Center in Los Angeles.
