A narrative set in a world preceding our own. A realm in chaos where forces of good and evil battle and intermingle. Through this, it creates the opportunity to give birth to a new world. A pair of winged beings make love and fly away. They bear a child in an egg, and when the child opens its eyes, they are immediately destroyed, one consumed by fire and the other by water. Mythical, elemental, and mysterious, the world created by Tsuji is dangerous, menacing, and suffused with signs of apocalypse, yet somehow simultaneously tender and compassionate. A Feather Stare at the Dark captures simple gestures and primal feelings and amplifies them, realizing the non-verbal and non-literal with remarkable grace.
