DRIFTING

When we are confronted by the possibility that everything we’ve learned in life could be a lie, how do we “know” what we think we know?

FLOATING ON AN ENDLESS SEA

OF QUESTIONS AND UNCERTAINTY.

DRIFTING ON AND IN A FATHOMLESS ABYSS:

A TINY PLANET FLOATING IN THE SKY.

OUR NAKED FLESH CANNOT SURVIVE

THE AIRLESS COLD ON EITHER SIDE.

DRIVEN BY WINDS OF CHAOS AND REALITY

WE STEER OUR TINY BOAT OF LIES

TO SUSTAIN OUR FRAGILE LIVES

FOR AN INSTANT IN ETERNITY.

WHO NAVIGATES THE BRUTAL TIDES?

ARE WE OUR ONLY FRIEND AND GUIDE

WHILE SAILING THROUGH INFINITY?
