the blue of distance, march 2024

“The color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. And the color of where you can never go … [the] nameless places awaken a desire to be lost, to be far away, a desire for that melancholy wonder that is the blue of distance.”

- Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
