THE PROMOTION NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT
Promotion looks like recognition from outside and often feels like relocation from within.
This visual
From the outside it is a title change and a message thread full of congratulations. From the inside it is a house move: same city, unfamiliar street.
The work you were good at is now somebody else's work. What is left is judgement, ambiguity and other people's mornings.
It is a promotion. It is also a small bereavement for a job you had finally understood.
This one is deliberately unfinished. What did your promotion quietly take away? The good lines get built into the longer piece.
