Description

I remember, with peculiar clarity, the moment I first recognized my own absence. There I sat, day after day, orchestrating numbers that held meaning only to those who had assigned them value. The spreadsheets became mirrors reflecting not what was gained, but what was gradually being lost. My fingers moved with muscle memory across keys that promised efficiency but delivered something else entirely—a quiet dissolution of self. What you observe in this piece is not merely the representation of labor, but the documentation of a particular kind of forgetting. The grid lines that once organized my professional existence have begun to organize my interior life as well. There is a certain dignity in this surrender, I've come to believe. A nobility in maintaining perfect columns while one's creative spirit retreats into smaller and smaller cells, becoming finally a single point of data—precise, measurable, and utterly silent. Those who view this work may recognize something of themselves in it. The careful arrangement of boundaries. The perfect alignment of expectations. The muted colors of compromise. I offer no judgment on this condition, only witness. For we who live between the cells, there remains the question: what calculations might reveal the sum of all we've left uncounted?
