Yohji Making Waves

Photographs taken from Yohji Yamamoto's installation at the Wapping Project.

In the stillnes she quivered, 

A reflection on her loss.

She echoed a beauty across the lake

And under the moon light she sung her siren song.

To be in that moment and then gone again.

Ephemeral ghostly peace.

Ghosts

We are but ghosts of beings
Shadowless creatures
Silver hooded mortals
Wispy colourless murmurs
Grasping at empty chances
Our memories are lost in
Night dreams.
Star studded streams
Sacrifice nothing
Breathe on
Breathe the dirty ghoulish air
and half live.
Half live like ghosts.
