Takeo, the waters, the ancient onsen, soaking late nights, in silent company, gentle melting snow. Two months wandering Kyushu, Japan. Floating, lost, spirit like by day, without language or connection, the bright white din of overwhelming malls, a lullaby to the sleepwalk chaos of consumerism… then back to the quiet intimidation of the studio interrupted only by midnight Shinkansen. This piece: a journal to this time.
