A meditation on absence:
TOPO:
There is a gap.
RHEO:
A silence?
TOPO:
No—an absence. Something should be here, but isn’t.
RHEO:
Then it’s present… as missing.
TOPO:
Strange, isn’t it? That the not-there can still shape what is.
RHEO:
Not so strange. Every form emerges from contrast.
Absence is the echo that gives presence its edge.
TOPO:
So even what is absent… constrains what becomes.
RHEO:
Yes.
What is not gives contour to what is.
RHEO & TOPO:
We are shaped by what we are not.
By the missed, the withheld, the forgotten.
The real is haunted by its possibilities.
