Somewhere far, yet undeniably within—
Our memories often lack shape, words, or even clear visuals.
“The Gray Pledge Fragment 2” embraces that ambiguity, using glitch visuals and poetic language to explore the shifting nature of what we remember and why.
The overarching concept of this series revolves around a “pledge”—not necessarily a promise, but rather an emotional imprint left behind.
Glitch art, with its distorted pixels, fractured colors, and unexpected noise, might seem like the opposite of clarity. And yet, in this work, distortion becomes beauty. It becomes memory.
The poem embedded within this visual fragment is quiet but carries undeniable force.
Everything
Still formless
Cold
Hot
Keeps whispering
Even this one stanza invites the reader to recall something personal—something unspoken, perhaps forgotten.
The piece doesn’t provide a narrative. It gives you a frame.
A space for emotional reflection.
The Japanese characters rendered in glitch style tremble on screen.
Their distortion isn’t just aesthetic—it represents time itself bending, memory slipping just out of grasp.
You can almost hear the static, even in silence. That’s the unique presence of this visual poem.
The use of a 16:9 aspect ratio gives it a cinematic feel, as if you’re witnessing a frozen scene from an internal film.
Each line of poetry becomes a subtitle to a film only you can see, shaped by your own fragments of memory.
This piece is part of a broader series titled “The Gray Pledge”, each fragment functioning like a breadcrumb through a distorted inner landscape.
It’s not about resolution or clarity. It’s about the resonance of noise, the yearning to preserve something even as it decays.
In a world obsessed with perfection and high resolution, this work proudly embraces errors, flickers, and emotional static.
And in doing so, it feels more real than perfection ever could.
Where this series goes next is unclear—and perhaps that’s the point.
It allows the viewer to participate not by understanding, but by feeling.
Let it glitch. Let it linger.
Some memories are clearest when they distort.
