A standing figure—proud in posture, yet steeped in silence. It appears learned, perhaps a writer, yet no words emerge, no trace remains. An inkwell exists, but no inscription. *The Pose of Knowing* critiques those who possess the tools of truth, but not the courage to use them. A reflection on vanity, facade, and the void of meaning.
