The Legend of the Golden Mouse

A journey through time and meaning

← Word and image

Introduction

n these images, a small witness travels through five periods of time. She moves silently among objects, ideas, and worlds that were once self-evident — and no longer are. 

The mouse does not tell history; she connects it. What you see is not an illustration of the past, but a contemporary reflection on time, memory, and meaning.

For she goeth forth, though she be seen no more,
and her trace doth fade
where time itself hath no name.
