I picture today’s self as a register of concise impulses that travel with purpose, then gently “splay” into paired intentions before returning to a single thread. Each excursion is punctuated by deliberate pauses—breaths that keep the structure legible—so the drawing reads like an index of decisions rather than a blur of motion. The work balances firmness (straight traversals) and generosity (brief forks that open the path), showing a temperament that commits, considers alternatives, and proceeds without overwriting what’s been learned.
