Echoes of Home

Lost Birdhouse and Ghost Forest

Stray ghosts and echoes. Echoes of stars. Echoes of stars and ghosts of memories. Ghosts of yesterday.

Our relationship with time and the material universe presents an intriguing predicament: we spend our lives at the impossible precipice of each moment, at once drawn by our memories to the past while dabbling in conversations of the future. What precisely comprises the fleeting present? We occupy a strange ghost world, struggling for the purchase on the shifting fabric of time, with the material world forever slipping through our fingers. Through our fingers slip structures of dust, structures held together by mild attractions, electrical and magnetic, just long enough for a person to live a life — a funny life tucked between three dimensions and time. Most days we accept the world as it is. But all around us are symptoms of the extreme and continuous efforts we make to function in this strange universe of echoes and ghosts. - Gabriel Kulka
