Researching SMOKE* Haze in relation to Body, Ritual and Earth continues to focus our attention on deep Trauma and Pain experiences, where fragments of soul fracture and split away into chaos. Spirits can travel in smoke. Will spirits gather lost soul fragments and return them to the patterns of their living beings, becoming whole again?
