It was an old pocket watch, silver once, now softened and drooping as if it had grown tired of its own certainty. Time, it seemed, had forgotten how to stay rigid.

We stand before blank canvases, empty pages, untouched clay, glowing screens—deciding where meaning should begin, convincing ourselves that intention alone is enough. We call ourselves observers, architects, originators. We talk about vision as if it arrives fully formed, waiting patiently for our hands to catch up.
