_{I have researched the idea of reaches in relation to physical matter i.e. the sun reaches to us through its rays of light and we turn our skin towards the warmth of them. Everything has reach, and is constantly reaching towards something. I want to extend this manner of thinking beyond physicality into metaphorical matters that deal with certainty and uncertainty in the past, present, and future. The present is potent because it is the only time that reaches are able to find their destination. It requires the self to be open and accepting. Without the present there would only be futile longing.}
