Safe Haven by Kirill Semenovich | Verse
*Safe Haven* is a video-essay series that develops themes first introduced in *The Old Man*. Built from fragments of memory and sensation, it assembles a recurring state, moments kept and revisited. The work considers a sustained relationship with time and the idea of eternity. It offers quiet indications of that presence and brief instances of living alongside it. The process is incremental and reconstructive: layer by layer, each surface opens to another space. Each opens onto a further interior, leaving room to pause and reflect without closure.

The Qatsi Trilogy
A singular artist and activist, Godfrey Reggio is best known for the galvanizing films of The Qatsi Trilogy. Astonishingly photographed, and featuring unforgettable, cascading scores by Philip Glass, these are immersive sensory experiences that meditate on the havoc humankind’s obsession with technological advancement has wreaked on our world. From 1983’s Koyaanisqatsi to 1988’s Powaqqatsi to 2002’s Naqoyqatsi, Reggio takes us on a journey from the ancient to the contemporary, from nature to industry, exploring life out of balance, in transformation, and as war, all the while keeping our eyes wide with wonder.
