My practice lives at the crossroads of the book and the classroom, where presence
is the essential material. So, when thinking of the harvest yielded by changes after 2022, I find myself constantly learning that virtual materiality is not an absence, but a different kind of skin, one that opens a new lexicon of sense and cognition. It asks us to keep searching for meaning not in grand events, but in the daily, sensory iterations of connection: presence found in the synchronized breath and the solitary echo alike. In this search, the gesture becomes my compass. More than image, it is performance, a vulnerable architecture that allows sensitive dialogues to begin. And if the “body” is no longer a single geography, but a fluid concept, an identity playground, then the internet becomes a stage for new gestures to be born. These gestures are inter-textual, woven from many voices, a silent language waiting to be recognized. This is how we begin to shape a context. This is the quiet, vital work of building a community.
