Two figures stand still,
as if they have been standing for a long time.
Their faces are not fully there.
Perhaps it is the light,
or the dust.

This work began with a question
about what remains
when meaning has worn thin.
When all the rules are still in place,
but nothing is held together.

Grid, greet, greed.
That was the rhythm that surfaced.
Not as accusation,
but as a quiet noticing —
how easily connection folds into control.

Each layer was made slowly.
Each mark an attempt to remember,
and then to forget.
A map was drawn,
then blurred.
A hand was raised,
but met with a fence.

Sometimes we call this progress.
Sometimes we call it peace.

What I wanted was to hold
the moment just before collapse.
The breath suspended,
not yet knowing
if it will be released.

This is not a protest.
Nor a lament.
It is a record of a feeling
that has no name.
Not yet.

•~•~•~

In fixation's dance, ensnared by threads we wreathe (一团糟),
Obsessed with minutiae, life's panorama sieved.

Within this struggle, for light, we grope and yearn,
A battle with darkness, our sight to discern.

A spiral into void, a struggle to break free,
Unraveling life's tapestry, to find what could be. What we could be.

But in this journey's heart, not solitary we roam, Faith, Hope, and Love (信望爱) guide us, a strength that's shone.
