Recent Projects

Hazy Devotion

As your thoughts diminish, you wander along a drifting path.  You immerse yourself in color, and a gentle breeze streams through the foggy air.  Water flows slowly below an obscured sky.  Your mind melts, and you feel refreshed.  You could wait here forever, thinking about nothing except for the fondness of your memories.  Are you walking or floating?  The illusion of space lingers, and you blissfully smile despite your own confusion.  Nevertheless, you're here.
