Works to view together
The Way Home
The way home is not walked after the wind ends, but through the wind by a body that is already tired.
The Way Home
After every departure and exhaustion, one part of the heart still turns toward its own place.
The Way Home
The hand that painted departure throughout a lifetime finally painted return. An entire life lay between the two.
Landscape with an Ox
This is not an abandoned house, only a house briefly unoccupied: an ordinary noon without departure or farewell.
Storm
It is impossible to tell who protects whom. Endurance is borrowing one another's bodies.
The Island of Parting
Even within the same sea, human and horse remain separate islands of parting.
