In between childhood wonder, idle reverie, and planetary grief, a meditation emerges on what it means to tend the subtle pulse that binds species and generations. Through disappearing rituals, spells against catastrophe, and the renewed power of aging bodies, these works inhabit the delicate spaces where intimacy meets enormity. How do we belong to our lives when our lives belong to something infinitely more vast?
