"WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH, I EMBRACE THE COLD BODY OF THE SCALY BIRD. IN MY ARMS, EACH OF ITS SCALES BECOMES A WIND CHIME THAT RINGS. SHARP, GENTLE, BITTER, SOFT NOTES PENETRATE MY BONES, AND NOW MY BONES TOO, BEGIN TO RING. THIS RINGING GRADUALLY GIVES RISE TO A STRENGTH WHICH BELONGS TO NO ONE". -YOKO TAWADA, THE BATH (1989)

THANK YOU TO LIANA ZHEN-AI KLEINMAN, FOR THE SPORTS, AND TO THE ARTISTS, FOR YOUR MOMENTS OF FLIGHT.
