...."It started as a day dream, but I now realize that it's everything on this side of the rift that is the dream. When you are a completely devoted artist, you invest everything in the other side. I am my avatar, this illusion of daily life is a lie. I am not here.
....But my avatar is alone, in an empty world, I did not write that world that way. It is not a typical wasteland, it is an area that is waiting to be built, in the same spirit of a vacant construction site. But it is that vacancy that is the metaphor. The world my avatar lives in is a spiritual manifestation of my childhood somehow set in the future, why - I don't know. The wasteland is my playground. ....This avatar, and the world he lives in, is what my higher self now takes from the human world in exchange for the sacrifice of my childhood, which I never agreed on or knew was even happening. He is the snow, the feathers. And one day I'll wake up on this side as him, till then I am asleep, till then I'm waiting. These are images of my avatar – this is not my avatar, this is who I am."
