When expelled by God, Kain went to the Land of Nod, east of Eden (Genesis 4:16). Nod stems from nad: restless, wandering. This is a portrait of a parallel universe of those that withdraw from the public, yet expose themselves and yield to their desires on rest stops and parking areas. Each gout finds its match when wandering in fading light, almost invisibly, fleetingly, offside but still right in the middle of it.
