Rise and Fall

"We are in constant negotiations-- what should go, what will remain? All times are times of change in which something is lost, something gained. Systems and structures rise and fall or fall into disuse and await reclamation. The process is always, for all of us, ongoing. The work is unfinished and unfinishable."
