Room 04 · The Sea Before Words

Sea Before Words

The deep before creation — water, and the dark moving upon it.

Hangs in The Sea Before Words, room 04 of 14: The hand’s largest work — three feet by two — after the Rig Veda’s hymn of creation: the deep that was before existence, where darkness lay hidden in darkness and the waters were, before the first word. Seen here whole, then walked close.
