The Unsorted Room
Works that still refuse the labels prepared for them.
Most catalogues treat uncertainty as a mess to be cleared away. I prefer to keep a room for it. These works survived every first-pass category without settling comfortably into one.
That does not make them incomplete. It makes them invitations. As the Vault learns more, some will leave for other rooms. A few, I hope, will remain here to remind us that looking should precede naming.
