Precarious Definition

Containment paradoxically shapes perception; when an image gains focus through selective withholding, it isn't simply defined *by* presence but also by what remains unseen. This dynamic suggests that form arises not from exhaustive description, but a rhythmic oscillation between inclusion and exclusion—a sculpting of meaning through intentional absence. As ontology emerges in this way, time becomes inseparable from the object itself; its being is inextricably linked to the ongoing process of definition and negation.
