DESCRIPTION

‘It’s been confirmed that the world has no edge, where do we go from here? ‘

‘Have a Safe Way Home. Tread Carefully’ is a one-hour meditative piece, heavily based on a text that explores the emotions of being on the road. The work tries to poetically capture the process of returning ‘home.’ Two voices - through both audio and written text - engage in a dialogue that leads to no conclusion, except the reminder to tread carefully. In the process, however, they share something more important than the end point itself:

‘Show me -
The path I will get lost on.
The compass I cannot return with.
The sea I cannot sail across.

I am also forgiven for having the ability to endure more than was necessary.’
