Tray
35 years to go
I want to erase these barriers that separate us
His time, mine
Distance, space, prison walls
I meet Tray on a website. He's looking for friends in the free world. We're exchanging letters overseas for a year. I go to Peoria, his hometown. A few hours far from Chicago. As I am get
ting closer to him and his memories I have the feeling of moving away.
A nostalgia emanates from these empty landscapes where he no longer appears, space and time become blurry.
My presence here resonates through his absence. His body disappears, gradually finding its marks in a timeless enclave.
Together, we are creating a utopian place beyond isolation.
This story is co-written with Tray.
