"We have more or less eradicated getting lost (GPS! Google maps! street lights!). You have to travel far, to a place where you have to help yourself with a half-torn map, a compass, perhaps the stars, to really be in the dark about which route to take. And maybe that's the appeal of labyrinths and mazes: the chance to test what it feels like, that tension of being completely lost. It is playing with the idea of fear to disappear. How special it is to find that this fear is given such a breathtakingly beautiful form. It turns the labyrinth into a place where you maybe don't want to escape from. You can take shelter from the routine of everyday life, meander, find yourself."
