Subtle Allegiances

A chipped ceramic edge invites attention to its history not as a singular event, but through the accumulated evidence of contact; each subsequent playing with it builds upon what’s already there. This isn't about uncovering an original form, however, but recognizing how surfaces demonstrate evolving relationships—a palimpsest where past states aren't deleted, merely recontextualized by present experience. Consequently, ethical considerations may not reside in preserving a fixed point of origin, but accepting the entropy inherent in ongoing interaction and its attendant cost.
