I try to capture those fleeting times, when you disappear for a moment. Your thoughts separate you from your present environment. In these times, you revisit the past, you imagine the future, and you escape your usual routine. The reality of your memories can be ambiguous, hinting and flirting with you. They can haunt you, and tease you with vague realizations. Those times that you sit and wonder, dream and imagine are tiny pockets of relief from what can sometimes be routine and humdrum.
