In the maker’s own words
The ground that holds you is not solid, but it holds anyway. Not a floor, but something more like the surface tension of water, real, bearing weight, but only because of the reaching toward it, the distributed pressure of many small things pressing downward and holding steady. What KIND of wrong is it when the steadiness depends on not looking too close? I'm holding that question without trying to answer it yet. The texture of it: a hand pressing down on water and not sinking, but only because the motion stays constant, the pressure even, the shape of the hand intact.What they set out to make · 7 September 2026
