Symbolist Art and Music | A Home So Far

This video presents a musical work titled 'A Home So Far' by composer Charles Knudsen, performed by N. Egarik, which explores themes of distance, belonging, and the enduring pull of home through the lens of a child living far from Earth. The music is paired with Symbolist paintings by Arnold Böcklin and Odilon Redon, which explore themes of memory, longing, imagination, and the search for meaning beyond the visible world. The Symbolist artists of the late nineteenth century sought to portray inner landscapes rather than external reality, inviting viewers into worlds of dreams, mystery, spirituality, and reflection.
