this is what the work looks like before it becomes language.

before it’s polished.

before it’s edited.

before it’s safe enough to publish.

this page isn’t a draft — it’s a nervous system on paper.

projected presence is one of those ideas that can’t be rushed. it doesn’t arrive fully formed. it has to be felt, tested, circled, crossed out, and lived with for a while before it’s allowed to speak.

what you’re looking at here is the first moment m.60 became real — when the idea stopped being conceptual and started organizing itself around the body, distance, signal, and absence.

this isn’t content.

this is process.

and it’s not something i share publicly, because once you see how something is made, you understand it differently. more intimately. more honestly.

that’s what the red room is for.
