I TORTURE PIXELS
MAKE THEM BEND, BURN, AND FADE
I TAKE AN IMAGE – ANY IMAGE
BREAK IT UNTIL IT’S NOTHING
AND AGAIN UNTIL IT’S ANYTHING
IS IT ANYTHING?
IS IT NOTHING?
WHAT ARE THESE DEVICES IF NOT MIRRORS?
WHAT ARE OUR EYES IF NOT INPUTS?
WHAT IS BEAUTY IF WE STOP LOOKING AT IT?
ARE WE BEAUTIFUL
WHEN REFLECTED IN OUR DEVICES?
“WE DON’T WANT OTHER WORLDS,
WE WANT MIRRORS.”
I TORTURE PIXELS TO SEE OTHER WORLDS
BUT MAYBE ALL I REALLY WANT
IS TO FEEL MIRRORED IN THEM.
IF I CAN’T LOVE MYSELF
WHO ELSE WILL LOVE ME IN THIS MIRROR?
