“...この世の中のどこかしら（かなた）の、幾つかの特徴線/traits（この、製図法的にして、かつ言語学的な言葉よ）を抜きとって、この特徴線/traitsで一つの世界をはっきりと形成することができる。日本、とわたしが勝手に名づけるのは、そういう世界である。”
- ロラン・バルト, 表象の帝国「かなた」
“…isolate somewhere in the world (faraway) a certain number of features /traits (a term employed in linguistics), and out of these features /traits deliberately form a system. It is this system which I shall call: Japan.”
- Roland Barthes, Empire of Signs “faraway”
---
Sometimes I feel like I’m just one silver marker in this universe.
To live is to draw a line.
To draw a line is to live.
Always trying to discover a new sign in the vast expanse of space-time.
Drawing is a signal that transmits between two points.
Birth and death. Past and future. Light and shadow.
Inside and outside. Negative and positive. You and me.
One silver marker will leave a trace of light.
Like a spirit.
In the state of echo.
