世界は今日も清濁を飲み込み渦巻いている
僕たちはその世界を生きていく
どれだけ笑っていてもどれだけ泣いていても
世界は回っていく

いつも日の光を浴びて光っていた二本のタワーは
あの日、跡形もなく消えていた。

こころをどこか遠い惑星に置いてきてしまったような光景。
消えてしまうものを見てしまった後
僕たちに出来ること

まだ、遅すぎやしない。
新しい世界を見つけにゆこう。
僕と一緒に探しにいこう。

'T is not too late to seek a newer world.

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
(from Ulysses by Alfread Lord Tennyson)

'T is not too late to seek a newer world (2003) is my artistic response to the September 11 attacks (9/11) in 2001. Featured photographs were taken before and after the attacks at Ipoh (Malaysia), Bali (Indonesia), Ibiza (Spain), New York and California (United States).
