Okay, I'm driving to work here and I just listen to Jerry Solve. Well, I'm still listening to it, but to listen to him, it's both, you know, it's not easy because he's got great ideas. Well, I'm not that that's the hard part, but like, he definitely makes you feel like you're not working hard enough. That's at least how I, my, you know, reception of his message. And, uh, buddy's, you know, he's funny, but my point is that I'm actually, uh, and I was listening to his talk at the Smithsonian on YouTube. But anyway, it really got me thinking about my own project and how to kind of find a way to get all of like, you know, the mediums in which I practice and to converge. How can I get the story that I want to write, the picture that I want to take and the painting that I want to make, um, all in one single shot, essentially. All in one take draft. And, um, I want to, it will, the idea of fragments came to me where, you know, you actually create something, then you tear it down because, you know, tearing it down, you're actually creating parts of the story, or perhaps part of the message or part of the, the basis for us, for it all is that you don't have all the information and you've constructed part of it. And you actually feel, feel that the message is somewhat disingenuous if you were to leave it there. So you tear it out because it's a, it's a figment of your imagination. But what I love is so, so, you know, if I can figure out a way in which, um, I can tell my story and I can represent like, I love papyrus as a medium. I'm just so fascinated with it because one, it's like, you know, one of the earliest forms of paper, if not the earliest, to, it's so durable and it's been around forever and, and I can paint on it, I can photograph on it, I could, you know, so, so I'm, I'm thinking about, you know, a piece where I can take a photograph, perhaps something from my parents collection and, and I can photograph, that's clearly a family photograph. I can, you know, print it onto papyrus and then paint over it, perhaps a scene from ancient Egypt or, you know, a poem from, from ancient Egypt, one of the poems from, you know, the literature of ancient Egypt, but I can actually, you know, compose the text of the, the poem, sorry, and distracts by this. I clearly think this is right to cross the street. But anyway, yeah, and so by, by, you know, composing all of that, all at once and then tearing part of it down, I think is really the core message here that, you know, we can, I will, well, our memories are always fragments and our stories are always fragments, no matter how much of the original source you have. So, maybe there's a way I can tell all of that, all at once. And, you know, to, to perhaps have the narrator come from a, a critic perspective or a scholar's perspective where, you know, this stuff is being studied and he can deconstruct it as part of the story. So, yeah, something along those lines, I think it's very powerful and I just want to, you know, capture my thoughts here because I'm very well forget, but anyway, getting closer.
