finding horizon mine// the edge of my earth

Ji Hyun Chan

travel as we do open skies above will still see the “same same” sun for as long as you can see And the light splinters seas of golden wheat further out go to see we swimming clouds are passing by much brighter it seems to be never in one place the earth as the sun comes up hearts take flight above she gives everything its shape much further than you can see and the light gathers flying past the wheat so far as the eyes can see passing the flat line by by new horizons to be found to fall off the edge my earth

The View by KURT CHAVEZ

When one gazes upon the horizon, it would most often be a beautiful sight to be seen especially in the Land of the Living Skies. In this work I tried to flip the situation around; while we are gazing at the sky, admiring its beauty, the sky is staring back and it’s staring with contempt. I believe I was trying to convey a Lovecraftian feeling of existentialism without fully realizing it, trying to portray the feeling of dread and the human insignificance in comparison to the vastness of whatever’s beyond the horizon.
