On this occasion, I attempt to bring together some forceful encounters within the gravitational field of my locality, as they are figurated through questions and images, fragments of manuscripts and long-awaited sculptures, and, of course, poetry. These are the things that resurface infinitely in my mind as residue of a much longer conversation, affinity, and imagination that have opened to a widening joy. This, as Alejandra says, is our attempt at a coherence that is against the world.

This is perhaps the unfolding of a natural evolution from a year of tea gatherings, only now borrowing a new ritual.
