nbs (nothing but something)

is an experiment at the boundary between existence and perception.
The recurring inverted triangle symbolizes something

that exists but defies understanding—
a trace of an alien presence, or a consciousness from another dimension.
It doesn't appear clearly,

but seeps in—quietly, intermittently—beyond our senses.

This is not about “concept.”
It is about the nature of the process.
nbs collects undefined shapes,

disassembles the sensations embedded in them,
and reassembles them into something pre-thought, pre-verbal.
Some elements are mere feelings,

others are flows that exist before thought.
Understanding is not the goal.

“mind search” is a kind of scan—but even the direction is unclear.
Is it looking inward or outward? We don’t know.
The work remains open, like a revealed unconscious.
Its purpose is not to be interpreted,
but to linger—
"I don't know what this is, but I can't stop thinking about it."
That’s enough.
