There Are Things That Are Unnecessary

Identity does not appear: it shifts.

What emerges is not something new,

but that which remains when everything unnecessary ceases to occupy space.

The work inhabits a territory of stripping away:

a place where the superficial, the imposed, and the ephemeral lose their presence, revealing that which does not need to be added.

Form is released from what is accessory.

The surface gives way, not as a loss, but as a transformation.

Because there are things that are unnecessary:

everything that covers, distracts, or attempts to define what already exists.

And in that gesture, something —at last—

no longer needs to be sustained.
