Meditation of the Furies ( 10 min excerpt from Here Lies Truth)

Here Lies Truth began as a meditation on the ashes of war that are inevitably shaped into distinct realities and ultimately truths. It explored the human, animalistic, and militaristic aspects of living within war and responding to it as citizen soldiers who in the end are all human. The meditation found the heart beat of mankind amidst the pounding bombs of war and explosive translations of violence. This formed the foundation and point of departure for Meditation of the Furies.
