To What Was Once A Sparrow

 

What are you doing here

dead

in a parking garage

on the blue planet             grey planet

                                              grey concrete

                                              grey sky

                                              grey skull

What are you doing here

rotting

in this minor basilica of human indifference

Not a sacrifice

simply a consequence, unintended,

unnoticed except by holy ants

What am I doing here

a dying thing

writing with a dead thing a poem to a dead thing

What are we doing here

we know where we’re going / just how do we get there

we don’t know where we’re going / but we know how we’re getting there

A green ubi sunt is the best we can hope for

My name is Eunice Hong, and I am studying Interdisciplinary Object Design at Towson University. My primary medium is Rhinoceros 3D, a computer-aided design (CAD) software. I draw inspiration from research to create pieces that convey meaningful stories and to raise awareness of global issues. As an artist, my goal is to inspire and to reveal the truth about history’s hidden voices through my work.
