The loss of a place to return to. Where is home? One’s identity becomes amorphous, and as though floating in an ocean, one’s legs no longer touch ground.

In our current global society, nationality, culture, and identity are becoming more and more fluid. In a new environment, what does one’s history connected to a certain place come to mean? One’s past starts to feel like a dream. Does this place have any relation to me? Was I here? Am I the same being as my self from that time, and that place? Like water evaporating, the answers to these questions dissapear.

How does one accept the fact that one is alone in this world? Home is both everywhere and nowhere. No matter how close one gets to others, it’s impossible to become one. No matter how difficult, one must live with this reality. Can one let go of one’s longing?

Umé Records presents the album “Before & After Migration” by Tokyo, Japan’s Yu Ogu.
