Overview:
A non-narrative and abstract adaptation of the mythological motif, the cosmic egg, telling a story with only sounds and drawings. It is said to be at the beginning of the cosmos and universe--from it hatched our beloved seas, earth, oxygen, sun, moon, ritual and spirit. Though the tale of the Cosmic Egg has been told in many cultures and civilizations from around the world, even on all five continents, ink on glass illustrates this dimly coloured adaptation, verging many ideas from different cultures, instead of holding true to only one, celebrating the human experience not as a singularity, but as a whole.

Escape (Synchronomy No. 4)(en)
1937-09-05
To the toccata portion of Bach's "Toccata and fugue in D minor," we watch a play of sorts. Blue smoke forms a background; a grid of black lines is the foreground. Behind the lines, a triangle appears, then patterns of multiple triangles. Their movements reflect the music's rhythm. Behind the barrier of the black lines, the triangle moves, jumps, and takes on multiple shapes. In contrast with the blue and the black, the triangles are warm: orange, red, yellow. The black lines bend, swirl into a vortex, then disappear. The triangle pulsates and a set of many of them rises.
