In juxtaposing homelessness with the notion of sufficiency, on "absence" I reflect on a moment from my past — December 2021 — when I stood at the threshold of losing everything, nearly unhoused. By some grace or twist of fate, I was spared, and today I stand here, able to present this work. This experimental short attempts to embody that precarious mental state — disoriented, suspended in time — that one inhabits when all stability threatens to vanish. It is a meditation on fragility, survival, and the strange stillness that lives at the edge of despair.
