There is a point of levitation in a thoroughbred Arabian horse's run when the rider needs to adjust the velocity of their gaze and find the still point on the horizon. The word in my mother tongue which describes this moment is "jezditi" which means "to touch the stars on a horse".
The experience of this moment of kinetic and spiritual freedom is at the core of my inspiration for this piece. It is also an account of a dark episode in the history of the Arabian horse breeding farm "Borike" in the mountains of my homeland.
