Waiting is the refusal of those who have companions to forget the one left alone at sea.

Text by Byun Joung Hoon

Two trees stand above the house. Two crows perch on the wall. The house is held by the stone wall.

Everything on land has something beside it. A tree has a tree, a crow has a crow, the house has the wall.

Only a single boat floats alone on the sea.

Where those who stay are companions to one another, they wait a long time for the one who has left.

Waiting is when those who have companions never forget the one who has lost theirs.

Ieodo, dried-grass colour, storms, wavering horizons and the black sun.
