This piece feels like reaching for something that never fully lands.
There are fragments in here, marks, numerals, gestures, a vessel tipped over, things trying to hold meaning while other parts dissolve underneath them. It reminds me of thoughts interrupted halfway through. Conversations that never finished. Grief that doesn’t arrive all at once, but leaks slowly into everything.
I kept resisting the urge to overwork it. The quieter passages mattered just as much as the heavier marks. I wanted room for uncertainty to stay visible.
There’s tension all through this piece between structure and unraveling. Between holding on and realizing something already shifted while you weren’t looking.
It didn’t need to scream.
It just needed to stay honest.
