Landscape and Abstraction

An island off the coast of Japan, burial mounds set to face the east, not a mass grave in the accepted
sense but a lone skyscraper-sized coffin that functions as a sundial

The brief stones that break the surface in slow motion, the ink puddle technique that pixelates the
wide angle, the aerial view receding

The desire for the desire, not desire itself
World on a dogchain reaching
