Becoming is transformation.
What stages mark this journey? Begin from the outside.
Architecture responds to the everyday with fossilized, high-stakes answers.
Writing seeks wholeness, unfolding constructions through process.
Art loosens its bounds, moving from structure to self, stripping bare to unearth the primal creature—the love-hungry manipulator—hidden within the contours of disguise.
The circle closes.
What guides the hand? How do we manifest emotions, stories, spaces? Do our narratives find dialogue? How do we balance restraint and release? What drives us?
What do we leave behind?
