![[Planets.jpg]] This painting evokes a field of drifting celestial forms—planets, fragments, and luminous matter suspended in darkness—yet none of them appear as perfect spheres or idealised bodies. Their textures ripple, scar, and glow unevenly. In this, the work gestures towards the [[Knowledge/Object-Oriented Ontology|object-oriented]] object-oriented view that nothing in the universe is ever pristine. Each form carries its own irregularities and hidden depths, pitted and inconsistent in ways that echo our own. The piece suggests a cosmos where every object, like every person, resists purification and remains irreducibly strange, marked, and alive with its anomalies.
