what happened inside

  1. 01:07entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:39touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:54the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 02:49no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:00worse. tighter.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 608: a window to look through

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
