"Because, let's face it, creative work does require some form of faith. It is a tumultuous thing to launch an idea into a vast nothingness and hope that it makes a light bright enough to be found by others. Luckily, these luminaries were my light, and I hope they may become yours as well, and - more so - that these snippets lead you to more of their work."
"The world will burst like an intestine in the sun, travelling through frame after frame of memory the dark turn to granite and the granite to a name, where the past turns, its face sparking like emery, to open its grace and incredible harm over my life, and I will never die. but there will always be somebody riding the bus through these intersections strewn with broken glass among speechless women beating their little ones,"
Creative work requires faith and benefits from the guidance of influential artists, thinkers, and photographers who act as lights in uncertain times. Such guidance can reaffirm confidence and encourage deeper engagement with ideas. A passage melds the mundane and the divine through textured, heartbreaking depictions of ordinary people and scenes of memory and violence. Imagery moves from a world bursting in the sun to granite and names, to buses, broken glass, rain, and luminous skies that feel like jails of light. Philosophical inquiry into the nature of the good is invoked as an additional source of intellectual and moral sustenance.
