The field before the turn: attention settled, ratios met, installation possible. Today I’m opening a small window into an adjacent project. It will expand how you think about change and help you recognize the conditions under which it can actually install. You cannot force those conditions. You grow into them. Foundation Human beings have latent trigger points. When the right signal reaches a prepared site in you during a brief window of alignment, a discrete activation event

An architecture of relation.  Lines align, a field clicks, and form begins to carry its own weight. Hello everyone. We have another working protocol to explore today. I’ve been deep in a set of demanding projects that went through multiple revisions. One of them, ELEMENTA, required a living lexicon that held together before I could create and photograph the system. It’s been a process. In one of the adjacent builds, a few concepts kept delivering under pressure, so I’m openin
