No Forwarding Address

“No Forwarding Address” Series Artist Statement

Somewhere
Between the luxury of daydreams
and the oblivion of darkest night
lies another reality:

I step throughthe looking glass
and soar. Earth now looks small
This is a land of clouds and ice. of desire, cupped like a pearl in the hand
and yet never quite attained

sometimes a cigar
is just a good smoke.
and a pearl, frost-rimmed, just a pearl.
but not here.

-Eve Alfillé
