'nighthawk/passenger09' unravels the story of a child trapped in the inevitability of pain, where suffering isn’t just an experience, but a fate that clings to their very essence. The piece evokes a profound struggle—the child, caught between the relentless weight of reality and a desperate escape into the fragile world of thought. This is not a gentle yearning, but a violent clash between presence and the mental rebellion against existence itself.
The ballast, a crushing symbol of unshakable sorrow, anchors the child in a life they long to flee from. Yet this burden becomes more than just an obstacle; it molds them, inflicting a kind of cruel determination, shaping their identity with every unspoken rejection of the now. In their search for meaning, for belonging, they discover not solace, but the raw, dark truth of hatred and aversion—emotions that explode from the deep conflict between existence and the suffocating desire to deny it.
In this relentless tension, "Nighthawk/Passenger09" casts a harsh light on the fragility of identity—an identity forged through suffering, shaped by the inescapable weight of existence, and haunted by the desperate urge to escape it. It is a dramatic meditation on the human condition, a dark portrait of how pain carves us into what we are.
