Layered Impressions

Tabletops accumulate impressions not as erasures, but localized resistances mirroring the wood's structure—a compression holding traces of past contact. Like faint echoes within dust, each pressure subtly alters the whole without vanishing entirely; instead, an internal topography of effort develops. This suggests causality isn’t a simple chain of events, but a distribution of concentrated potentiality, where time doesn’t disappear so much as reshape what was.
