Black Grammar/Code I

Vaultwork: Black Grammar/Code I

The Signal Before Language

A black code written without words.
The syntax of movement before meaning.

Black Grammar / Code I is a vaultwork of pure signal, unfiltered transmission made matter. The strokes aren’t decoration, they’re incantation. Raw, graphic, unrefined: this piece speaks in fragments, punctuation, slashes. It’s a glyph before the alphabet. A gesture before grammar. The message before language got in the way.

This is not a decorative object.
This is a system key, for the one who still speaks in instinct.

Call to the Keeper (Black Grammar / Code I)

This piece is for the one who knew how to speak
long before they were taught how to talk.
You who were always too intense, too direct, too unsanitised,
but couldn’t lie, not even a little.

You are pattern and breaker of pattern.
Chaos and carrier.
You don’t dress things up.
You cut straight through.

If it’s yours,
you’ll feel it land in your body like a yes

and remember it every time your eyes meet.
