“No rules, no ‘musts’.”
Nothing manifests by intention.
What stirs and accumulates within eventually manifests without warning.
After days of isolation and focused creation,
there are moments when I feel close to seeing it.
Wanting to witness it, I shed all constraints
and place full trust in myself.
If my usual self is reason, then this is sensibility.
I observe that sensibility, with reason occasionally assisting.
The piece born from that state confronts me—
like my own appearance, an undeniable fact.
I don’t know how many more I’ll make,
but among them, one piece—
quietly, manifests without warning.
And let that be my roots.
