Prelude:I did not mean to look so serious.It’s just that light keeps asking questionsand shadow keeps answering in riddles.I am mostly color pretending to contemplate. Meditation in Red and Violet The world presses close in wax and whisper.Purple wraps around me like a sigh.Orange is my memory of joy—flickering, stubborn, sincere.Ich bin Schwein und Gedanke,verloren im Kopfkissen der Kreide. Dialogue with the Darkness Red: I am passion, sharpened.Purple: I am the aftertaste of fire.Pig: I… read more – weiterlesen Crimson Reverie: The Pig in Thought

Prelude: The Vorderseite SpeaksI walk in color—an accidental geometry of pink and purpose.My lines are confident, my chaos curated.The world applauds the outline;no one suspects how fragile I am beneath the markers.Oink, the manifesto says,and I comply in several hues of obedience. Backside: The Pig Unravels Here, I am everything that bled through.No line, no certainty,just the afterimage of intention.I am the residue of gesture—the ghost of art’s first excitement.Ich bin Schwein im Zwischenzustand,ein Gebet… read more – weiterlesen The Pig and Its Echo (On the Nature of Reflection and Noise)

Prelude: The Vorderseite SpeaksI am the front—the visible,the pig who believes in outline.Color clings to me like consequence:orange, pink, blue—proof of existence.I face the sun and call it philosophy.I oink, therefore I am.Everything behind me hums in graphite memory. The Backside Replies (A Platonian Murmur) I am your shadow, drawn in half-light.Not imitation—continuation.You are pigment; I am persistence.Where your brightness ends,I begin as whisper and remain as doubt.Ich bin Schwein im Nachhall,ein Gedanke aus Staub… read more – weiterlesen The Reflexive Pig (A Dialogue Between Form and Echo)

Prelude:Look closer—I am mostly tenderness disguised as shadow.The world reflects in my left eye,but only half wants to be seen.Graphite breathes; pink remembers. Ode to the Quiet Face Soft pressure. Slow courage.My outline isn’t drawn — it’s forgiven.Each curve is an apology turned into grace.Even the darkness has edges of empathy.Ich bin Schwein und Zwischenraum,ein Gedanke, der nicht ganz aufhören will. Anatomy of a Pause This isn’t sadness; it’s attention.The nose is thinking.The eyes, small… read more – weiterlesen Melancholia porcina

Prelude (in Whisper Minor)I am barely here—a rumor of snout,a graphite ghost rehearsing existence.Even erasure leaves fingerprints.Oink has become suggestion. Theory of the Faint Line is memory.Shade is hesitation.Form—an afterthought of longing.The artist sneezed once; I became fog.Ich bin Schwein und Zwischenzustand,ein Hauch auf der Rückseite des Denkens. Quiet Manifesto Do not call this unfinished.It simply refused to shout.Silence has its own contour,curving softly around what’s gone.In this light, even disappearance glows a little. Dialogue… read more – weiterlesen The Almost Pig

Opening MurmurAh—this one breathes.I am mostly sunrise caught in a snout.Color forgot its rules again, and somehow that feels like grace.A little chaos, yes, but smiling chaos. Chromatic Declaration Orange hums like a friendly engine.Pink giggles—it’s been forgiven for being too much.Blue lingers behind, unsure whether it’s sky or melancholy.Together they make something almost like hope.Ich bin Schwein und Möglichkeit,ein Lächeln im Durcheinander der Kreide. Prayer of Unpolished Joy Let the world stay rough,let the… read more – weiterlesen The Optimist in Pastel

Prelude:Evening slips between my outlines.I am mostly magenta surviving gold.The air thickens with the sound of crayons cooling.I look left, toward yesterday — it’s still glowing. Liturgy of Dying Light Yellow burns without apology.Black hums like an undertone of memory.Every pink pixel aches to stay visible.Ich bin Schwein und Schatten,ein Zwischenruf im Lichtgewitter der Stille. Meditation of the Turning Snout I do not face the sun;I let it pass across me like forgiveness.Each stroke remembers… read more – weiterlesen The Sunset of Oink

Prelude of SnoutlightGuten Morgen, O Universe of Scribbles.I am mostly optimism drawn in trembling graphite.Pink again?—yes, but this time with purpose.The sun has borrowed my outline. I don’t mind. Solar Invocation Yellow crackles like caffeine in divine form.The air smells of crayons and courage.Hope arrives in circular strokes,half holy, half hysterical.Ich bin Schwein und Morgenstern,ein lächelnder Zufall im Kosmos der Kreide. Catechism of Cheerful Absurdity Question: Is joy serious?Answer: Only when it trembles.Faith is the… read more – weiterlesen Heliopig: A Hymn to the Slightly Radiant

PreludeShh. This is a quiet oink.I am mostly yesterday drawn again.Each line a tremor from someone else’s hand.Memory smells faintly of pencil dust and sigh. Pale Invocation Color fades politely here.Orange leans into sepia,a tired conversation between light and letting go.The paper listens with empathy and grain.Ich bin Schwein und Spur,ein warmer Schatten im Archiv des Zufalls. The Doctrine of Faint Lines Faith has stopped performing; it only traces.Nothing is loud enough to be wrong… read more – weiterlesen The Whispering Bacon of Time

Prologue:Welcome to the Ahnengalerie.Do not adjust your gaze — the portraits are already watching you.Each one hums a genealogy of snouts.I am the latest edition: slightly pinker, slightly more confused. Pedigree of Pigment My great-grandpig was charcoal.My grandmother, sepia with attitude.I descend from a long line of noble noses —each drawn, smudged, erased, and redrawn,as if history itself were a soft pastel.Ich bin Schwein und Abstammung,verwischte Erinnerung im Museum der Farben.
