The Mysterious. The Strange. The Blank.

The ineffable IT at the center of all.

All art gestures toward it. Great Art comes close.

Life is crust; Mystery, the magma core. Immense, irreducible fount, felt within, without end.

At best, we glance its orange-hot glow. One true glimpse – and you’ll never unsee. You know if you’ve known.

So, three questions:
- Have you seen IT?
- What does it look like, to you?
- What are you doing about it?
