Ran Mitake
It was my choice to change myself, but I started understanding you all less, and that scared me. That's why I ran out. It made me uneasy. I felt lonely... I wondered why my lyrics didn't make sense to you.
Margaret Atwood
- The Handmaid's Tale, Chapter 24
What I need is perspective. The illusion of depth, created by a frame, the arrangement of shapes on a flat surface. Perspective is necessary. Otherwise there are only two dimensions. Otherwise you live with your face squashed up against a wall, everything a huge foreground, of details, close-ups, hairs, the skin like a map, a diagram of futility, crisscrossed with tiny roads that lead nowhere. Otherwise you live in the moment. Which is not where I want to be.
