Facing the infinite rows and columns of the excel grid on my computer screen, I always think of containers, compartments, joined together as facades, making up the megalithic glass and steel structures that emblematize the power of private corporations. 

​

I think of ascending the floors in pursuit of a capitalist dream. I think of the millions of birds that die colliding into the mirrored surfaces of skyscrapers - how they spend their final seconds glaring at their own reflections. Or of Narcissus transfixed by the pool. I think of the glass pyramid and of scooping the moon from the water. I think of an illusory wall, bricks of water, drowning birds, a plastic morgue, films of condensation, and an unstable absence.
