My research and writing explore what I call the post-symbolic: not a theory, but a lived perceptual condition that arises when the symbolic order—the system of signs, norms, and representations that structures meaning in language and culture—collapses or becomes uninhabitable.

In this state, coherence doesn’t depend on interpretation or identity but emerges through rhythm, field, and relational pressure. It is not psychosis or transcendence, but a reorganization of perception that reveals new forms of being-with—beyond representation and hierarchy.  

A fugal literary study of my life as a writer, wanderer, escort and hallucinatory projection screen. It moves between intimacy and analysis, playing with being human in systems that feed on visibility, desire, and silence.

My doctoral and philosophical project expanding from the memoir—an inquiry into what happens after the collapse of the symbolic order. It proposes rhythm, relation, and field-awareness as coherence beyond narrative and representation, with bombastic implications.
