To mark the transition into the second half of the solar year, we tend to things transient, unfinished, and overlooked. Some experiments and impressions of being with the world-at-large, foreshadowing the 'wabi sabi' reader from the @_foam Anarchive.

The exquisite & the liminal. 侘び寂び moods & textures, where matter records its own weathering. Worlds abide in the humble and mundane, with hints of worlds becoming otherwise.

"Such is our way of thinking – we find beauty not in the thing itself, but in the pattern of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates."
