AGAINST CERTAINTY
Against Certainty starts from the physical deconstruction of a second-hand book, not as content but as condition—its weight, sequencing, and material persistence after use and time. Pages are displaced, altered, and reassembled into a single fragmented image whose grid-like structure loosely recalls the discontinuous, accumulative visual logic of an Instagram feed.
 
The intervention works through small shifts and interruptions that unsettle the relation between image, text, and orientation without fully collapsing it. The work remains in that tension: where interpretation hesitates, where legibility is at risk but not lost, and where certainty appears less as something denied than as something temporarily weakened, exposed through its own construction.
