My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

"Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may
then be a valuable delusion."

"It's that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest
power." Joanna Macy.

with public health agencies, officials said. That restriction has forced
local health officials to scrap hopes that the Google-Apple collaboration
could help with contact tracing.
