about

"The Crossing" is an emotionally charged sound collage with an archetypal ambience in which I have imagined the ultimate liminal experience that is inevitable for all.

This piece is about the anticipation of death, the way people talk about death, about the fear of death, the process of death as suggested in art, literature, films and testimonials, as well as a hint at the ambience of the beyond. It has Western as well as Eastern elements in it, of the past as well as modern times. It is about myself as much as it is about the collective. This piece is also a metaphor for the transformative process of psychological death during times of hardship and inner change. Contemplating our mortality in a world that trivialises death can surely bring us closer to life.

“Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.” (Lao Tzu).
