JADE MEMORY: Reflections on the Role of the Past

IMAGE: Some fractured jade orbs in a celebration of geometry and play of light and darkness

Daiki:   What is this a memorial to?

Chariya: I hardly know. We cannot speak of the past with certainty. Aren't out impressions 
         of the past are framed by the present?

Bhäraté: . . . and framed by our cultures as well?

An-Yi:   (sighing) I see it as a signal to move on.
