Complexity
The layers most people hide
Nobody worth knowing is simple.
Complexity puts the layers people usually hide right on the surface. Nothing is tidied up, and nothing needs to be.
Companion work: Complex lives beside Complexity. Where Complex refuses to give you one clean answer, Complexity makes the layers impossible to miss. Together they reject the idea that a person should be easy to define.
