I first encountered your torqued ellipses
on an overcast autumn day in Seoul
Giant slabs of corroded steel slowly twisting
through a giant empty warehouse space
Walking between them everything shifted
or I shifted or I became aware of shifting
bodies moving through space, light
folding over the tops drifting down into corridors
Sound moving away from me and yet also amplified
as I walked and touched these metal skins
A slight vertigo that lessened
when I focussed on my footsteps, breathing
I found myself more anchored in my body
discovered a comfort in my own weight
found myself later testing that body against
what imposes fragility, or wakens awe.
