ETERNAL HOMESICKNESS
The Mirror That Turned Away, 2026. A mitten-handed greeting met only by an inverted reflection and aligned shadow.
Parallel Trances, 2026. Two different beacons: a domestic red dot in the shadows [from a laser pointer], and a picturesque sunset warming the sill.
Hands That Shielded the Child, 2026. Navigating familiar hands that offer loving guidance meant for an earlier self.
Where the Rite Ends, 2026. Leaving behind the stagnant safety of established doctrine for an unwritten path.
A Measure of Separation, 2026. Two figures divided by a transparent wall, measuring distance not in miles, but in the absence of passing time.
The Incurable Landscape, 2026. Surroundings change, but the interior longing remains the same — searching for one familiar vista in every field.
Outrunning the Shadow of the Hours, 2026. Sprinting with buoyant urgency beneath suspended clocks, racing to outrun their shifting shadows.
Afloat on the Staged Deep, 2026. No longer taken by the beacon's glow, she looks to the cloud above from which the bait is dropped.
A Breach in the Backdrop, 2026. A breach in the idyllic atmosphere, revealing the edge of a sky that was only ever scenery.
Beyond the Painted Stage, 2026. A painted room masquerading as the wild, opening onto an ocean bleached by blinding light.
