Framing Surrender examines surrender as a disciplined mode of perception—a practice through which meaning discloses itself through sustained attention rather than conceptual control.

Produced as an accordion-fold publication, the work unfolds into a continuous textual and visual field functioning as both reading object and sculptural form. Incorporating blind debossing and gold leaf, it moves between poetic reflection, contemplative instruction, and structured meditation.

The book introduces the Four Surrenders—a formal structure of interior refinement drawing from Sufi contemplative practice—through which attention is recalibrated toward presence, dissolution, and perceptual reordering.
