Writing

My writing explores what it means to be human in an age of machines. Drawing from theology, philosophy, and the forge, I write about embodiment, imperfection, and the sacred strangeness of being alive. Whether in essays or books, my work wrestles with the tension between flesh and code, beauty and ruin, creation and collapse. Each piece is an act of resistance against optimization and a defense of the messy, the mortal, & the made.
