FLOATING WORLD

First nature, then “civilization”, then back to nature.

Anthracite is the highest quality coal. It burns the best to build industries, and towns, and lives. Towns are built, and unbuilt (unbuilt is the wrong word of course). Nature comes back.

We work with porcelain and bones. Like coal they come from the earth to be with us for a while, so we can build. I cast the branches of the birch in bone china. The birch is a ghost or bone near my current home (also here in Lithuania). It’s one you can see from far away under the darkest canopy.

I read it is a Pentacost tradition it to decorate your home with flowers and greenery, including birch branches. It gives visiting souls a place to rest while visiting.

As above, so below.
