Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end
And hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows...?
Starting a new journey may not be so hard, or...
Maybe it's already begun.
There are many worlds,
but they share the same sky:
One sky, one destiny.
Walking this road, without you
To remake broken promises
And meet you at road's end.
Faded memories,
Reconstructed memories,
A dream.
A dream of you, in a world without you.
A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory
A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream
I want to line the pieces up...
Yours and mine.

WORD PLAY - Bruce Nauman / Lawrence Weiner
Title of Exhibit: 'WORD PLAY'
Artists: Bruce Nauman and Lawrence Weiner
These two artists are united by their common love of using written language in their work--both were called 'wordsmiths' by their respective critics. While Nauman uses language in order to spark a particular reaction and also uses it in aesthetically pleasing ways, Weiner simply uses plain written language to create an aesthetic artwork not in the phsyical realm but in the viewer's mind. In this sense, both are looking to create a reaction based on language and our associations with them, but one creates the artwork in the physical realm and the other in the subconscious realm. Also, the various interpretations of their verbal-rich work adds to their skill in 'word-play'.
