The Welsh word hiraeth has no exact translation, but encompasses a longing for something or someone, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia. Apophenia is defined as the tendency to perceive a connection between unrelated things or events. We invite you to join us as we navigate the realm of apophenia and hiraeth — a place of decay and renewal, of weaving together sense from the world, of looking for the lost and lingering on the found.
