This collection of poetry, art, and conversations cover themes pertaining to birth and death. Bordering on fantasy, it represents a voyage through time – an excursion between imagined pasts and anticipated futures, stretching the boundaries of "self," "time," and "death." This work is not based on any particular chronology and it plays with the ways we define concepts of time and space. Is time always unilinear? And how do local positions melt into broader space? I regard such speculation as a fantastic grinding stone, and all of us are parts of mill grist.
