There is an innate physical implication to the act of passing through. Say, a body bending microwaves as it records its own movement, hot bronze settling into symbolic form, or early code prompting the splintering of a hummingbird. Energy meets resistance, resistance pushes back. A movement instigated by a certain amount of force, triggering a degree of impact, a shape. Form is created through interference, meaning develops in the transition between one state and another. Objects, systems, and languages all bear traces of such movement, of translation, delay, repetition. What poisons one body sustains another, habits of recognition realign. Say, the hide of a stillborn calf held by Perspex, interception turning time ornamental, like a latent being nesting in a vigorously wired chrysalis.
