Experiencing Interruptions?

Waking

Waking is a moving poem about interconnection. Love is the way we find comfort in a world that is falling apart. Through love, we deeply connect with others and with the natural world. The shift from a narrative of domination and accumulation to a narrative of respect occurs through a worldview that honors love above all else.

Waking is a moving poem dedicated to the lovers of eternity.

For The Wanderer, Oasia
Love, Via Postel

Director Statement

Waking is part of an evolving concept titled Entanglement: A Love Story concerning the lovers of eternity; divided by distance, united in love. She is Via Postel, veiled in her endless experience. He is The Wanderer, destined to live countless human rebirths. They live to converge. Their quest is to unite eye to eye. They roam this world and communicate their love for each other through poetry and art they refer to as “postcards”. These postcards are their progeny, their consolation. They are created in the form of fresco paintings, alternative photographic processes, moving image poetry, found poetry, and text as medium.
