We extend our deepest gratitude to the individuals and supporters who have quietly shaped the contours of this project.
Their belief in unresolved processes, fragmentary research, and speculative structures has allowed us to move through uncertainty with conviction.

This work could not have taken place without the care, trust, and generosity of those who remain—by choice or design—at the margins of visibility.
We acknowledge their presence not only as providers of material support, but as conceptual allies in building a space for shared attention, drift, and inquiry.

To support something undefined is an act of faith.
We thank you for holding the space open.
