Slower
And I like it.

Lighter
I don't fight it.

Farther
And I want it.

Whisper
So it haunts me.

Louder
So they hear.

Closer
I don't fear.

Harder
I don't tire.

Faster
Out of mind.

Alex Corvin’s almost breathless photographs always leave me wondering. I haven’t come across an artist who captures the fleeting nature of motion, dissipation, and the passage of time in space so precisely.

Thank you for this collaboration. Your art is inspiring.
