We live by confirming our existence in human form. It is taken for granted in reality that an individual lives by recognizing themselves as a real entity. 
However, it can be difficult to prove the difference between reality and non-reality. If this is reality, the easiest way to recognize oneself may be through observation.

Active volcanoes continue to erupt in the area, emitting volcanic ash measuring about 10 kilometers above the sky once every few years. 
No matter where you go in the area, gray volcanic ash is piled up in one corner. Although it seems to be a small local city that is not much different from other regions, fine volcanic ash is located in all places.

Self-awareness is hard to feel every moment. Moments recognized by external stimuli are accumulated and recognized as an individual. The ashes left by the erupted perception are realizing self-awareness in the invisible.


현재 인간의 형태로 존재를 확인하며 살고 있다. 자신을 실제하는 하나의 개체로 인식하고 살아 가는 건 우리가 살아 가는 현실에선 당연시 된다. 하지만 현실과 비현실의 차이를 증명하긴 어렵다. 지금이 현실이라고 가정한다면 스스로를 인식하기 가장 쉬운 방법은 '바라보기'를 통해 확인된다.

처음 방문한 그 지역은 활화산이 멈추지 않고 발화 중이다. 몇 년에 한 번은 상공 10km 정도의 화산재를 분출되기도 한다. 지역내 어떤 장소를 가도 어느 한 구석엔 회색 화산재가 소복히 쌓여 있다. 다른 지역과 별 다르지 않은 지방 소도시로 보이지만 미세한 화산재는 모든 장소에 자리 잡으며 특수성을 보인다.

수 많은 방식으로 표현되는 자기 인식을 매 순간 느끼긴 어렵지만, 보이지 않는 외부 자극으로 모여 분출될 때 인지된다. 발화된 인식이 남긴 재는 보이지 않는 곳에 자기 인식을 실현시키고 있다.
