This piece is about the search for love, regardless of form, subject or context, the search that one might do throughout the life in order to find the meaningful love. Therefore, the piece is not about being skeptical on love but suggests that love is not visible ‘yet’ and the journey continues.

 

 The piece was inspired by the exhibition under the same title by Korean artist Ahn Kyuchul where he quoted the title from Chonggi Mah’s poem. I combined the title with the poem ‘The Everlasting Voices’ by W. B. Yeats.

Text: Chonggi Mah, W. B. Yeats

​

Invisible land of love 
 

O sweet everlasting Voices, be still;
Go to the guards of the heavenly fold
And bid them wander obeying your will,
Flame under flame, till Time be no more;

Have you not heard that our hearts are old,
That you call in birds, in wind on the hill,
In shaken boughs, in tide on the shore?
O sweet everlasting Voices, be still.
 

Invisible land of love
