The trace is presence but it is also absence. It is an imprint, a remnant gesture, a sign of a contact that already was.

We are permanently interacting with ordinary reality, extracting meaning and transforming it into the world we inhabit. So the world we live in is not only a creative input but also a trace of our presence, the imprint of our bodies and our ideas reflected in the mirror of our mind: the hands.

Things are what we see but also what we do not see, which has already passed there and shaped it; the present materializes as the imprint of the past, the imprint exists because there is another entity that gives it form.
