] ] THE GATE [ [

I descend

and return

bringing the light

once hidden

in shadow

the world is changing

slow it down

slower

slow

the rhythms of

images and words pulse

like a heartbeat unhurried

take time

find stillness

when things resonate

allow yourself

to be unsettled

to be surprised

meaning often

discovers itself

in silence

..and in time

間 MA — space between

間

闇 YAMI — darkness

闇

錬金 RENKIN — Alchemy

錬金

幽玄 YŪGEN — unseen beauty

幽玄

曙 AKEBONO — first light

曙

陰口 Kage-Guchi — shadow play

陰口

this is a glimpse into

how I move through

windows in time

where light interplays with shadow

I invite you into my world

an active participant

your perception

is alchemical

witness

what emotion

is stirred within you

that has not been revealed?

let’s see it together

— Waking Crow

“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows,
the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates…
Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.”
— In Praise of Shadows, an essay by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.
