Anthracite scrying mirror, bleached flag, salt, audio 1:02
Draped over a pedestal is a bleached American flag. Atop the flag sits a substantial piece of coal, carved to reveal a concave scrying mirror. Surrounding the base of the pedestal on the floor is a circle of salt.
SPOKEN TEXT:
Remember the white of the moon full. Sharp, brightening everything beneath from the darkness in which it dwells.
Remember the blue of the daytime sky around the moon. Soft autumn blue, deep dusk blue, smoky storm blue. A blue always above you, infinite and stable.
Remember the red of your blood, seen through your closed eyelids as you gaze at the sun in the sky—a vibrant and familiar red, pulsing with summers and childhood.
See the white of the moon.
See the blue of the sky.
See the red of your blood.
Moon to sky, sky to eye.
Moon to sky, sky to eye, eye to blood.
