I love the acuity of his placement, proportion, scale and use of the silent space

– reverberating foreground and background.

I feel sound.

The simplicity is a compressed and searing haiku

– a trained dancer when on opening night

and

the curtain rises and the music begins,

after months of practice,

leaping and landing across the stage

with

grace, elegance and weightlessness.

BEAUTIFUL!
