[Words Between 'Direction' and 'Movement' - Conclusion]

Over the past few days, I have been looking at words between 'direction' and 'movement'.
What we have been touching upon is not so much the 'movement' itself, but that subtle sensation that wavers between direction and movement.

To go, to come.
To advance, to return.
To turn, to bend.
To cross, to go over.
To stand, to sit.
To meet, to pass by.
To chase, to flee.
To stop, to move.

When lined up like this, every word has a clear outline.
Yet in reality, the wavering of the atmosphere drifting before and after those words always emerged together.

Observing the space between direction and movement may not have been about measuring position or speed, but about gently touching the orientation of the human heart and the sense of distance that words have captured.

While walking through this series, what kind of direction was born within you, and what kind of movement was unraveled?

For now, let's take a short break here.
When I stop and look back, I am simply here, right now.

But the journey of words continues.

Next, let's look at "Words of Greeting".
When we meet, when we part.
That first word where the distance between people gently begins to move.
Previously, I looked at the differences in design across languages regarding the farewell word 'sayounara' (Turkish, Indonesian).
But this time, let's look broadly at various greetings. If we listen closely to them, perhaps the outlines of a new world, slightly different from before, will quietly emerge.
