If I didn’t tell you, how would you know
How far into the tunnel I’ve gone
Mae spectrwm or golwg
High contrast
Black white, Du Gwyn
Messages in neon melyn
High contrast 2D, 3D
High visibility, Visibility, Visible, Invisible
Outlines
Matte black blends into nothingness
Obstacles I didn’t catch, and tripped and fell
Visible, Invisible
Arms outstretched in front
See, with your fingers
Cadair, cwpan, bowlen, llwy
Fyna
Ble?
There
Where?
Where is there?
You don’t look blind
Look
I see you
How did you see?
I tried to look, to see
What can you see? What am I looking at?
There
Ble?
Ble mae fyna?
How would you know if I didn’t tell you?
My great grandmothers chair
Partially prydferth
Rhannol broken
Baring her bones, snapped springs and stuffings
Hiraethu o hyd
Does it matter if the light is on or off?
Why don’t you sit
Gaze at the view
Visible view
Invisible view
Feel the chair
It’s over there
Ble?
Is there a world beyond your fingertips?
Do you know
Or do you presume
Do you imagine
Do you guess
Do you trust
Do you trust that a chair is a chair and can be sat on?
Dwi’n eistedd ar cadair, mae bwrdd o flaen fi, oes cadeiriau arall?
Black and white chevrons
Indicates a sharp turn in the road
Neon warning signs
Mewn ir twnel
Golau yn bellhau
Fading away
The visual world is getting lost in the dark
Along with agency, independence, freedom
Flashes of bright white light
Roll around eyelids
Invisible
Visible
A show for one
A lot of light but no use for seeing in the dark
Stumbling along
For fear of pain
Step by step
One foot inching in front of another
One hand over another hand
No peeking now
My great Mamgu’s chair
Soft, luxurious velvet
Safe and secure
Still longing, longing still
Why don’t you cymer sedd?
Lie back
Rest your weary eyes
Lle cofiar byd
Where I remember the world
Lle cofiar byd
Where the world remembers
Hiraethu o hyd

Tirlun Sain
Sound of entering a railway tunnel with extended cello notes. Tense and dramatic.
Sain yn mynd i mewn twnnel rheilffordd gyda nodiadau soddgrwth estynedig. Difyr a dramatig.

Elemental sounds of the rain falling against different objects.
Swn y glaw yn disgyn ar gwahanol eitemau.
