I live in a reality that constantly eludes me. Everything I experience resembles something, but is never exactly what I thought it was. The world plays an endless game of appearances and shifts, in which meaning never settles definitively. So I am not a seeker of truth, but an explorer of what deviates, of the absurd and the almost impossible.
Life, as I experience it, is not a straight line, not a plan, not a path with a clear goal. It is more like a tangle of paths that unroll beneath my feet as I walk. I am never sure whether I will arrive anywhere, or whether I will simply arrive at another mistake.
I love laws that make no sense, because they remind me that even the laws that do make sense are just agreements between people who are afraid of the unknown. And it is precisely this unknown that I feel at home in — where things are not yet pinned down to their name, their function, their economic value.
I sometimes call myself a “scientist of that which deviates” but in reality I am a lover of the impossible. I embrace the paradoxical, the superfluous, the imaginary, because in them I find the echo of something deeper than logic.
Life is not a problem to be solved, but an exception to be celebrated.
And so I live, not to understand, but to live alongside understanding. Not to grasp things, but to marvel at them. I do not pore over life like a philosopher over a proposition, but dance around it like a poet around a fire that refuses to die, but also never burns exactly as it did yesterday.
Life, my life, is a pataphysical experiment. A hypothesis of which I am the proof, or the refutation, or something in between.
Perhaps I am the footnote to an unknown formula. And that is exactly enough.
