Joy Of Staying Alive

Words / 2026 Variety

Begin to gain recognition. Hesitant about stepping into the limelight ... lowercasing of names. Opting for a blank white canvas of anonymity. Possessing transgressive humility.

Resistance to conforming defines the charm. Embracing improvised mutability, in response to moving between migrant parents. Authenticity shines as all sensory noir song ... not the product of calculated branding. The journey continues.

Step out of the vehicle and identify yourself.

We are world citizens from Muzzles. Collective unfixed sensibility ... in a materials-based sensibility, challenging gendered labor. Built around fictional inhabited cells ... child re-configurations of concrete confinement ... and yet also a sense of unfinished loveliness.

Drawing from our vocabulary of wearables woven with knots and hard restraint. Sea shells and "unspoiled" symbolizing self-discovery. Oyparaploo plastics, rusty steel, dog drawings about haunted river crossings. Porcelain at dawn, field sound perfume. Beginning with gestures and stitches creating textiles-form nets. Scattered across vignettes with personal family belongings. Free d'étoiles stool with its delicate innocence.

Objects based on place-making ... staking a claim for one modest wild soil quadrant.

As nomadic practice — moving from place to place to find reasonable employment.

Migrating endlessly ... Acquiring everything except staples on pause. Records of time and desired labor frozen in their undoing. Evolved by immediate responsiveness to surface noise. Internal to external grid to matrix.

Fingers sorting strands on a rough surface.

Things reshape and gather through opening up to new understandings. Unraveling quiet changes. Intuitive inattention develops through meditative repetition. Wonderful Shy Osai breathtaking iteration. Envelopes sealed at the thin edges. Waves ... then the calm.

Quiet, restless — charged in their susceptibility to constant transformation.

Other conditions in which a chaotic situation might develop ... inhabited by behaviors that add multiple cruel meanings.

Hooks or lures threaten safety. Clung values and simplicity more or less perpetually laced with subtle hints of a night intersection fatal collision. Suggesting extreme fragility and mangled ubiquitous violence.

Art work pieced together to resemble rugged life sewn into references of going to war for barrels of crude oil + full moon goat patched and whitewashed paraphernalia. That half-dreamy essence means of escape.

The next day ... Mother Nature discreetly relaying binary intersects, combined with a living room shelf covered with framed vacation photos.

Oyparaploo respite from the chaos of these times we're all living in now. Transcending borders voice. Never blocked by linguistic struggles. These atmospheres filled with 100% natural neon sounds.

Timid loneliness held up to the light.

Vulnerable self-expression ... never quitting who we are ...
