What remains is not less.
It is what was always there —
waiting beneath the noise,
patient as first light.
APPROACH:
Each refusal opens a field. Each absence, a word borrowed from traditions that understood emptiness as the beginning of all form.
Each absence is a deliberate act: a clearing, a silence held long enough to hear what the skin has always known. The way a lacquered surface is scraped bare before it can receive a new story. The way spring arrives not by addition, but by the slow withdrawal of winter.
