What if Nothing was not the absence of meaning, but its birthplace? What if divinity was not found in certainty, but in the unknowable, the untouchable, and the undefinable space beyond it?

It dares to ask: Is the sacred something we can hold, or is it the space left untouched? Is the divine a presence—or an absence? We are creatures obsessed with meaning, weaving it into the fabric of existence, unable to escape the instinct to search.
