‘as if I was a road’ is a guided tour through familiar landmarks misplaced in time. It asks, how can we move inside of earth that is not fertile? Dust mingles with wet dreams of desert inhabitants. The spatiotemporal distance between dwelling, resting, longing, and overwhelm are polarizing forces of light and darkness. Dreams, or mirages appear, and darkness becomes almost visible.
