Unscored, Amorphous is structured around the idea of the secret—not as a singular hidden truth, but as a mechanism through which social, psychic, and aesthetic life organises itself. Drawing from Goffman’s sociology, psychoanalytic theory, and gothic modernity, the work begins with a simple question: what happens when a secret is said aloud?
Across its sections, the secret mutates—from the hidden codes that bind intimacy, to the private compulsions of appetite, to capitalism’s own parasitic concealments, and finally to the dissolution of the self that once guarded anything at all. Each movement turns the secret inside out: from object, to performance, to structure, to residue. The text loops through theoretical citation and lived experience, mirroring the rhythms of withholding and revelation that sustain meaning itself.
To write here is to stage secrecy as form—something that organizes the boundaries of selfhood, but also erodes them. By the end, the secret ceases to be a thing one keeps; it becomes the condition of being legible at all. Unscored, Amorphous is what remains after the secret has been spoken, and the speaker begins to disappear.
