A Visual Poem from the Morning Commute
Slack is a visual poem, just over a minute long, that I made recently. It started with a conversation with a good friend and colleague about something as ordinary as my commute to work. The journey takes about 25 minutes, and I spend nearly 20 of them meditating. I change from the tram to the […]
