Love isn’t control.
But it isn’t absence either.

It’s something harder:

learning how to hold
without closing the fist.

“Close Enough to Love” — a spoken-word duet.

🎧🎵 Dialogue of Stance and Burden (Lyrical Duet) 🎶 🔊 A Dialogue on Freedom, Control, and the Tension of Intimacy

A trip-hop spoken-word duet exploring love, control, and freedom, where intimacy becomes a negotiation between stance and imposition.

Artifex Machina Mythos

A new spoken-word piece exploring the tension between freedom and control in relationships.

Not as opposites—but as forces that coexist, and often conflict.

The idea:
love isn’t something you solve,
it’s something you negotiate continuously.

“Close Enough to Love” — a spoken-word duet.

I recently read strangers sharing how they’d respond if their life ended without warning. What stayed with me was how many felt ready to go - and how many believed their absence wouldn’t matter.
Those thoughts shaped “Someone’s Crying Somewhere.” Because even when we feel unseen, someone, somewhere, would grieve. If this finds you today, I hope you hold on.
