secret tienqa text ‘i am so fucking wise’
This piece hides the phrase 'I am so fucking wise' in the Tienqa code. The words are layered into the lines, turning a casual remark into a permanent structure. What looks like abstract connections is in fact language, disguised as form.
The phrase reflects something people often project onto me. At 21, being called “wise” by those twice my age feels strange, almost misplaced. In the painting, that tension is absorbed by the pattern, where irony and sincerity blur.
