Who-or what-shapes our work when we create?
The Irony of Ghosts brings together three distinct pieces-an essay, a satire, and an elegy-to explore creativity as a shared and often unseen process. From a reflective meditation on influence, to a speculative debate about language and power, to a lyrical portrait of artistic persistence, this collection traces how ideas, voices, and traditions move through different forms.
Playful, thoughtful, and quietly moving, this book invites readers to consider not just what is made, but how-and who is present when it happens.
Haunting is situated, not transferableMedium is not a container - it is a summoning device
