The assignment was to write 5,000 words about me and my art. I wrote 24 texts about my relationships with different elements of reality. Through them, I tried to find my relationship with art. I crossed the unnecessary words.
Crossing out the words took me three days. During the first day, I managed to leave 8 627 words out of the 25 056 I wrote at the beginning. Next time, I crossed 1 202 words. Crossing only 1 184 words the next day was disappointing, so I immediately tried again. I gave up after I crossed only 118 new words. I wished to finish with exactly 5 000 words but in the end, I had 1 123 words too many.
The page number 19 went missing. I counted the words again, there were 5 973. It means that probably there were 150 words on the missing page number 19. I got rid of around 28 words from every page and only 23 words were left to delete.
With only 20% of the original words remaining, it reflects my fear.
