“So long as I resist you, I live.” #theseventhseal 
Black against white. Nothing more.
A board that pretends the world can be contained in sixty-four squares.
A pawn is pushed forward,
not for its strength,
but because it is the first to be claimed.
The queen governs the field,
the king trails behind,
and somewhere within this strict geometry
you try not to misplace yourself.
Every move carries risk;
every decision cuts through the quiet.
Advance. Offer. Hold.
At times, simply remain where you are
to avoid being eased off the board altogether.
Life is not chess—
yet it resembles it unnervingly often:
a game that cannot be won,
but will not be yielded.
No flourish.
No final triumph.
Only the next move—
and that must suffice.

The old belief that the camera steals the soul was never just superstition — it was foresight.
It captured more than light; it held the breath of a moment — and something of the one who lived it.
Once it gathered light. Now it calculates it.
Yet every image still demands an offering: a trace of soul it carries into the darkroom of memory.

In AI this theft returns, refined.
What was once a single loss now happens by the millions:
each new image born from the shadows of others,
fed by a collective memory that belongs to no one.
Perhaps it is no longer theft, but transformation —
a drifting between remembrance and invention, between loss and metamorphosis.

Once the camera took the soul.
Now it multiplies it — until it disappears.

Once the camera took the soul.
Now it multiplies it — until it disappears.

The old belief that the camera steals the soul was never just superstition — it was foresight.
It captured more than light; it held the breath of a moment — and something of the one who lived it.
Once it gathered light. Now it calculates it.
Yet every image still demands an offering: a trace of soul it carries into the darkroom of memory.

In AI this theft returns, refined.
What was once a single loss now happens by the millions:
each new image born from the shadows of others,
fed by a collective memory that belongs to no one.
Perhaps it is no longer theft, but transformation —
a drifting between remembrance and invention, between loss and metamorphosis.

Once the camera took the soul.
Now it multiplies it — until it disappears.
