The composition consists of two distinct sections. The top section has several asemic letterforms, rendered in a black serif font, against a pale blue background, which has some wear and stains. The bottom section showcases large, abstract, black shapes and blocks of color, creating a dynamic interplay of positive and negative space. The overall effect is a juxtaposition of graphical elements and textures, emphasizing the playful use of typography and form.

a sun, a particle, a probability made visible.
the poem waits for the act of looking
to complete its landing,
suspended in the same uncertainty
that defines both quantum and poetic creation.

Architecture is meant to house, protect, and express that which is human.
Hostile architecture does the opposite. It denies rest. Next time you sit on a park bench with a metal arm in the centre know thisβ€” Sleep was denied that night. Rest on that. It is everywhere not just America.

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it.

Grateful to Periodicities for publishing my first experimental poetry criticism:
Unfixed Readings

Thanks for making space where critique cross-hatches instead of explains.
To the digital & experimental poetry community: let’s keep disrupting how we read.

To buy art is to acquire a fragment, a representation, or a doorway into its world. But the soul of art, what it provokes within us, belongs to no one. It exists in the shared SPACE between the artist, the work, and the audience, thriving in engagement rather than possession.
