A Tree Without Leaves

It seems that everything can be described in a single sentence. Every complex idea is interchangeable with an abstract statement, big words or evergreen truths. Somehow we must have come to this point, but I have no ability to follow the sequence of events and decipher these codes. I cannot see behind the statement. Everything is literal, but nothing is clear. I’m a tree without leaves, an unfinished analogy.
Please read me carefully

Indeed, on closer inspection, the things we generally think of as fixed and unchanging are nothing more than a long chain of events. An occasional interaction of natural forces, a process that manages to hold its shape for a time, to remain in equilibrium, before crumbling into dust again.
I don‘t consider my own intuition and my ideas „natural“ because even when it is dark and my body perceives nothing, one tiny particle travels through my mind. There are dreams in which a moment can freeze forever.
Landscapes moved and transformed freely on them. It depended on the point of view you were examining from. Micro worlds passed each other within bodies and transformed the interconnected cellular system where biological material moves freely. Slowly, the patterns from the skin began to imprint themselves on the space around them as well. They were not afraid of me because I was in their environment.

What we see is a heavily blurred narrative unfolding before our eyes. This blurring causes the dynamics of the narrative we are interacting with is controlled by entropy, which is a measure of this blurring.
Things transform into each other because of necessity, and they give each other justification, according to the order of time and of space. It is a measure of something that concerns us much more than the events we are closely following. In the City Surfer Office gallery space, we encounter shards and fragments that branch into a root system that tells us hidden events.
To understand the whole, it is necessary to carefully observe the system of branching subplots that leave behind fragments of clues and key evidence.
