This piece explores how deeply capitalism has shaped our inner lives — not just our work or our wallets, but our values, identity, and sense of purpose.

A reminder to reclaim your agency, trust your instincts, and hold a different image of what’s possible.
A subtle cage can feel more secure than the open sky — until the moment you realize the walls were never real, and the way through was always yours to choose.

We move through routines that drain us, systems that demand obedience, and structures that promise progress while hollowing out the very things that make us human. Beneath the noise, a deeper truth keeps pressing through the cracks — that much of what we’ve accepted as normal is anything but natural, and the cost of participating grows heavier by the year. This piece is an attempt to trace that unease back to its source, to examine the mechanisms that keep us compliant, and to consider what becomes possible once we stop pretending the modern world is built on anything real.
