Deep and beautiful, as always. On the more trivial end of the spectrum, due to partially detached retinas (my missing limbs?), I have blind-spot areas, and so Eigengrau is a (very) close friend of mine, in fact a constant companion. On the far other end of the spectrum are the Grotesqueries of Gaza; the depravities of the original attack were many, the depravities of the response are infinite. And the irony of forcing perceived 'non-humans' into the concentration camp that is now Rafah and thenuse of white phosphorous on humans is overwhelming. Maybe these victims are not phantom limbs but phantom humans whose painful absence will be felt as long as empathy lasts.
Thanks so much for reading - and I'm sorry you're so intimately acquainted with Eigengrau, though it's kinda sweet in its efforts to keep us seeing, don't ya think? As for the rest, it's a horror beyond naming.
