method

this is not fieldwork. not data collection. not a performance of rigour.

drift is how i move through the world without being mapped. it’s how i notice what doesn’t want to be captured. how i stay with what refuses to be resolved.

i walk. i pause. i witness. i write.

i move through cities not to study them, but because i live in the afterlife of their making. what i carry is shaped by blackness, queerness, diaspora, refusal. what i record is not neutral. what i keep is not for extraction.

this is dérive as method. not to find answers— but to remain in motion, to notice, to insist.

no route is planned. no conclusion is promised. this is how i stay alive.
