What is it called, to be in a place without meaning, without symbols, where we are not able to project ourselves or find our own image reflected in the gaze of others? When the old rituals only keep us in purgatorial enclosures and we are left to wonder a landscape of the contradictory voices of our own mind with only molecules of memory to form any sense of reality? What is this called?
Perhaps there is a word for this in a language I do not speak?
ZELLE is an expression of this state of being, in a language of music for the ears of the skin. It is an invitation to travel together beyond darkness, to the limits of the seeable, the hearable and the comprehensible.
