Padian Rota

Process Showing

Padian Rota cannot be understood through classical categories; the entity functions as a living experiment of the limits of power, freedom and chaos. Using contradictions and provocation as the main tools of (self)knowledge and communication. It is believed that there are no credible sources about the life of Padian Rota, but it is assumed that he has a built-in paradoxical identity disorder with elements of vulnerability, extravagant transgression and supersystemic creative dissonance. Padian Rota lives, works and gives up in the cohesive practice of his introspective thoughts. He is a doe who dreams of your old age, a questionable follower, a blow at birth, a newcomer and a returnee, a surplus in a metal incubator.
