Of Us
DE · EN
Two circular brushstrokes stand side by side, slightly overlapping in the middle. The left circle is deep black, dense and powerful, with a small opening at the lower edge where the stroke ends. The right circle is much lighter, almost transparent, as if formed of breath or light, its soft edges fading gently into the paper. Where the circles overlap, the tones blend—dark and light greys flowing into one another like two beings touching without consuming each other. The form feels calm, harmonious, alive: a picture of relationship and closeness—two complete circles that overlap without replacing one another. A 'We' formed of two intact 'I's.

– WE –

1.
Effortless,
playful.
Laughter,
together.

2.
A crack in the I.
People,
like automata.

3.
Lonely seeing.
A world reversed.
They strange,
you strange.

4.
Third eye.
Me with three,
you with two.
Us — apart.

5.
No one
sees the other.
Only
the other thing.

6.
Loving love
instead.
Half hollow
and real.
Eyes like shields.
Sleeping,
everywhere.

7.
Keeper of the forest.
Trees in the mind.
People missing.
Don’t think!

8.
Forestman’s hail —
like an echo.

9.
Read,
misheard.
As within,
so without.

10.
Falling,
again.

11.
Lesson of lessons,
onward, deeper.
In the midst.
Doubled.

12.
Clearing —
on course.

13.
Effortless,
playful.
Laughter —
open.
