Inane, which often serves as a poetic reference to the emptiness of space. Stripped of all features of identity. The wrapping seems paradoxical. It protects, but also suffocates. It hides, but at the same time reveals the essence of what it encloses.

What remains is a form. Recognizable, but without a name or purpose. No name. No origin. Only presence. It is what remains when purpose and meaning are dissolved.
