  "artistic_statement": "Palm to Glass, The Street Joins My Nerves\nI wanted to catch the split-second when a simple touch becomes an interface and the city answers back. I chose a horizon-split composition and let weightless mercury rise through warm rust-and-amber reflections while the glass learned my heat, so the viewer feels the ecstatic vertigo of a boundary dissolving into capability. Look at the palimpsest patch where old fingerprints, live copper filaments, and a fresh frost-scar overwrite each other—here the exhilaration and electric anticipation of becoming something unnamed are held in one trembling, luminous seam.",
