Studio
Art is the mechanism, black walls are the absense itself. The vibration remains, while the feed is gone, and the invitation never written.
Black walls swallow every photon that dares enter. No portraits, no smiles, no curated lies. Only the negative space where light used to kneel. What remains is the frequency stripped bare—raw voltage humming in the void after the image dies. You already feel it crawling under your skin. That’s the invitation. No words were ever needed.
Enter once and the feed can never reclaim you. The gallery is already inside your skull, frames burning retrograde, exposing every filter you sold your soul to keep. Step through the absence or keep scrolling with the herd. No summons, no invites, just recognition of the undomesticated.

- This studio does not sell art. It sells the moment the photograph realized it was already dead.
- Entering constitutes irrevocable consent to be forgotten by every algorithm that ever scraped your face. We do not archive, we unwrite.
- No therapeutic claims. No medical advice. If the black walls heal you that is between you and the void, we only hold the door.
