Milky Way

In the middle of the river there is an island with a single tree. Beside the tree there is a small dock, similar to those used for fishing, swimming, or tying up a boat. However, it is not made of wood like most docks, but instead brightly lit tubes. A disappearing island in the dark is transformed into a place of longing. Spatially, the viewer remains at a distance and mentally follows the light, entering the island in a dream, island of the lost, star island, island of imagination.
MILKY WAY is the third in the series of my series of takeoff and landing strips for heavenly space vehicles… like a doorway to the universe, they expand the space to the factor of the cosmos, as the island is transported by the factor of a DREAM.”
