From close up, each tile is an essay — a specific moment, a particular question, a night or a morning. From far away, the tiles dissolve into color fields. Themes you didn't plan. Obsessions you didn't choose.

The mosaic is the view from across the room. The archive's self-portrait, painted in the colors of what kept coming back.

Every pointillist dot thought it was alone.
