Works to view together
The Path Rejoined
The line thins almost to breaking, then joins again. An entire life can enter a single line.
Sea Village
One can leave because someone remains; one can return because someone keeps the place.
The Empty House
The tree gestures toward departure while the rock opens toward return: one sends away, the other waits.
The Letter
The letter is written despite knowing no reply will come, because writing seats the departed person before us once more.
Living Alone
Living alone is not severance from the world, but a place of dwelling deeply with oneself.
Longing
A painter of departure paints the departure of his children; their flight also means they were raised well.
