A collection of short texts embedded in a chaotic and intricately detailed visual meditation on obscurity, abstraction, repetition and density. The work is not one that is searching for or portraying acceptance, but rather flaunts a specific, individual vision and way of being. The texts are both older and created especially for the group show (be)longing curated by artist Jessica Williams. (Limited edition of 100)
