When Atoms Reach for Sacred Altars

  When Atoms Reach for Sacred Altars What do you feel when you touch something sacred? Do you want to touch sacred art? Are we creatures bound by thermodynamics, driven by an instinctual urge to exchange heat, shed skin cells, and mingle our matter with the monuments we revere? To stand before a sacred masterpiece is to experience a gravitational pull—an irresistible desire to collapse the space between subject and object, to leave an oily fingerprint as proof of shared existence.  The gallery border is a social construct attempting to enforce absolute vacuum, forbidding the inevitable entropy of human connection.

I am no longer a man... just a dark silhouette exploding into shrapnel. 

The panic is absolute."


The Metallic Bloom video-poem

It starts on the back of my tongue.

A cold, sharp tang of copper—

Like biting down on a gun barrel.

Then…

It detonates.

It isn’t a scream.

It’s a jagged, violent bloom

Tearing through my throat.

Shards of silver.

Iron.

Rust.

I am no longer a man—

Just a dark silhouette

Xxploding into shrapnel.

My body isn’t mine anymore.

My voice isn’t mine anymore.

The panic is absolute.
