L'assenza è

The Absence is. The behaviour of this phrase is deliberately oxymoronic. Absence is the emptiness that pains and frightens us, an obsession that grips us, but we cannot escape being absence that through the perception of feelings becomes presence. We love each other precisely because we are missing beings who yearn to be (complete, fulfilled). Thus I entrust the balance of emotional chaos to the anaphoric sequence of these conceptual portraits.
