Spirit and Suspension reimagines Ernst Bloch’s utopian aesthetics through Bracha Ettinger’s matrixial theory, proposing the “not-yet-drawing” as a fragile, transformative space of shared becoming. Critiquing the phallic gaze’s foreclosure of intimacy, drawing can become a site of co-affective encounter, where trauma, memory, and desire are reconfigured. Blurring subject/object, past/future, and self/other, this essay positions art as a transport station for psychic rebirth, inviting a humane ethics of perception grounded in vulnerability, love, and the ongoing promise of the “not-yet.”
