​
Ideas behind this work:
the poetry and science
of the sun and the moon
the expanding horizon produced by the meeting of cultures
the circular horizon
encircled by the moon and the sun
cultural tapestries, the fabric of society and other metaphors,
the intersections of diverse belief systems and imaginations definitely create a richness of possibilities for growth, innovation and evolution
from a bigger perspective maybe all our running around and fascinating expressions of individual and cultural differences look part of a bigger texture and pattern, from the top of a mountain our cities look like a network of cupboards inhabited by ants from the view of the stars we must appear even more minute than herds of ants and resemble something more like particles of dust or microbes swimming in oxygen
different ways to symbolically and aesthetically represent diversity, the intersection and meshing of cultures her stories and his stories the productive difference that comes from the edge of states
like cultural diversity no single narrative rather interactions between patterns and emergent productive differences which can expand our horizons, individual, community and locations possibilities
