Ink and graphite drawings from 2023 incorporate kené motifs to reflect on continuity and interdependent relationships across the natural world, presented alongside poema cantos — sung poems recorded as audio — that foreground voice as a generative force. The title is drawn from Bensho's poem "Kewe nete": "When you sit down to design / the tips of your fingers will glow."
