Oculus/Vessel : A Living Circle/Stilled Space/Mined


Thirty spokes unite at the wheel's hub
It is the centre hole that makes it useful

Shape clay into a vessel
It is space within that makes it useful

Cut out the doors and windows for a room
It is the holes which make it useful

Therefore profit comes from what is there
Usefulness from what is not there
