Works to view together
The Gaze
The horse on the cliff quietly watches the departing boat and every moment once shared.
The Letter
The letter is written despite knowing no reply will come, because writing seats the departed person before us once more.
The Path Rejoined
The line thins almost to breaking, then joins again. An entire life can enter a single line.
Empty House on the Left, Empty House on the Right
Life may be the act of choosing one empty place between two houses and filling it with one's warmth.
Recollection
What was loved most remains faintest. The horse was not erased; it walked inward and became part of the self.
Longing
The unseen is not erased from memory. Longing is a silent time in which the absent is still kept.
