FOREVER BOUND
Exploring the theme of Fate’s adversarial role in a relationship, how destiny, if you believe in such a thing, plays an important role in how our lives turn out. It’s an exciting challenge solving the puzzle of how we are able to communicate such a personal, and yet universally experienced, stage in life.

A poem by Vittoria Aganoor Pompilj
…
Tell me, tell me, where is it? How can I find you?
And we hear the cries:
…the last song is for you;
I say to you my last
desperate word without a cry,
endless sea like my pain.
This mad love of mine,
And the rush, and the thirst,
Were in vain.
This is it, this is it, this is the truth.
…
Ditemi, ditemi, dov’è? Come posso trovarla?
E l’udiamo gridare:
…, l’ ultimo canto è per te;
dico a te l’ ultima mia
parola disperata senza pianto,
mare infinito come il mio dolore.
Questo mio folle amore,
e l’impeto, e la sete,
furono vani.
È questa, è questa, è questa la verità.
