This one turns toward absence, presence, and the relational life of what isn’t there:
RHEO:
We often speak of what is here.
But what of what is not?
TOPO:
Absence feels like negation—
a lack, a missing.
RHEO:
But is it only that?
Or can absence do something?
TOPO:
You mean: can absence act?
RHEO:
Yes. The unspoken reshapes the said.
The empty chair alters the room.
TOPO:
Then absence is not passive.
It participates—by contour, by contrast.
RHEO:
And sometimes, what is withheld
speaks louder than what is shown.
TOPO:
So absence is not nothing.
It is a relational presence.
RHEO & TOPO:
What is not there still shapes what is.
Silence is not empty—
It listens.
