Eros, a love that wants, that desires, invokes movement and momentum in great depths or an endless expanse, an energy that is both kinetic and potential. Eros never really arrives. It is a beautiful, and endless, horizon, a space that can never be filled. Celestial scenes entreat a sense of adventure, begging explorers to dream and to dare… and then to keep dreaming and keep daring. Eros, to me, is a falling not of lost footing but a falling that follows a leap of faith, and there is nowhere to land in ever deepening, shifting, expanding dimensions. There is a heaviness in the fall that must obey gravity, yet an ethereal buoyancy in a rebellious heart that lifts the spirit and enlivens the body despite determined forces, solemn powers that be. Eros is a struggling, a risking, a wrestling for the sake of longing. Suspended in the air, suspended in time, Eros is suspense. To know and to have is to meet land and complete the voyage on waves of ecstasy and glassy, reflective sea.
