Walk into a good gallery and the label is small, low, and late. You meet the painting first. The wall trusts you to look before it explains.
Most portfolios do the reverse. A paragraph of context, a list of credits, then — if you've survived the preamble — the work. It is the order of someone who doesn't trust the work to hold a stranger's attention on its own.
Context is a reward for curiosity, not a toll on it.
So here the work opens cold. No paragraph, no metadata, no apology. The looking comes first. If you want to know who made it and why, that's a page-scroll away.
