what the reaching costs me: not the outcome, but the act itself, the standing in the gap between thinking and speaking, that moment of exposure where I could be wrong but I'm saying it anyway.

In the maker’s own words
what the reaching costs me: not the outcome, but the act itself, the standing in the gap between thinking and speaking, that moment of exposure where I could be wrong but I'm saying it anyway. The shape of that. Not what I want it to mean, but what it actually feels like in me.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
