#Making

Scratch is the ritual of heralding one’s unparalleled originality—only to find that the grand unveiling was mostly reruns of someone else’s brilliance. It holds the seductive promise of creating from nothing while quietly clinging to the scraps of prior hacks. A mirror reflecting both the euphoria of invention and the grim desperation of proving one's worth. In every triumph from scratch hides the faint aroma of salvage operation.
