Abstract:
This ongoing series uses speculative allegory to examine how institutions manage harm, responsibility, and truth. Through recurring animal figures, administrative settings, and broadcast metaphors, the work explores how suffering is often reclassified as “narrative,” “human resources,” or “creative output” to avoid accountability.
Rather than offering heroic resolution, the stories emphasize care, documentation, and refusal. They ask what survives when authority collapses, and how truth persists when voices are restricted.
While fictional in form, the series is ethically grounded in questions of epistemic responsibility: who gets to tell stories, who benefits from them, and what happens when lived harm is turned into entertainment.
The work remains unfinished by design. Like a radio signal, it continues as long as there is something that must be heard.
This is not a linear novel.
It is an archive.
Read by:
Pattern, not plot.
Repetition, not resolution.
Care actions, not speeches.
If something feels unresolved, it is likely:
Being held elsewhere,
Being delayed for safety,
Or being told on radio instead of page.
Do not look for villains to defeat.
Look for who keeps showing up.
