Not far from the urban jungle we live in, another side of the world is going on so slowly and quietly that we cannot feel any change. Never do we hear the mangroves cry or notice the suffering of seabirds. We are unaware of how living creatures in the water struggle to survive.

“Parallel World” is where every minute goes by, as if it never intersected with the world where we live. We look from the corner of our eyes but never see it. We hear but never listen to it. And we still assume that it is not relevant to us and does not affect our lives.

Will this world go on in parallel to us forever? Is it really another world that has nothing to do with us? Or is it the very same world that we build up and own together, but it is only our own awareness that has never intersected with this “this world”?
