The Point of Non-existence

The Point of Non-existence by Sam Batley is inspired by the transition, traditions and acts of masculinity that take place as a teen; 

“You don’t get to pass from one state of being to the next without the ritual of trial and tribulation. Adolescence pangs with tests subjective to a whole host of variables. Grounded in the past, tied to landscape and social conditions of the environment marked by the previous men that walked the plank as a boy, to jump repeatedly into being a man.

Like an insecure caterpillar trying so hard to shed its exterior only to reveal yet another exterior. Discomfort makes or breaks you. It is the thing that underpins the pursuit of trying to shed it, will you? or won’t you?

Jump or don’t jump, no one’s arsed.”
