Ghost
This [piece] is called 'Ghost'; it was meant to represent the feeling I get when I wander the woods and feel both a part of it, but separate. I have strings to the modern world, but a desire to run away from it, all while knowing I never truly can. It's a reflection of humankind once living with the forest and among it, rather than beside it. There is no word for the sense of loss I get when I reflect on humans as a species and our empty seat in the garden of mother nature, for we've deviated so far from our brethren in that respect. We are only ghosts when we return to those places.
