“Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living organism when it is subjected to stimuli too intense or too complicated to cope with. The cure for apathy is comprehension.”

trying to understand is the foothold out of the abyss.

those outlines of my internal conflicts are only slightly transparent, the issue–my issue, the thing that releases the shutter–is less and less defined by the shape of shadows and more so by the fine, fine edges of something luminous. something at odds with human waste and the mark it leaves behind.

where that mark is left, well that is part of my something luminous.

how will i present this, visually?

words come easy, but the mental pixels? well, they’re a bit out of focus. still.
