The preoccupation is with how to conduct oneself toward whatever governs the whole business: whether it can be addressed, whether it responds, what the correct posture is. This is not despair and not devotion; it is a negotiation being attempted with something that has not stated its position. The index finger points, indicates and directs, and the nail is the hard edge at the end of that gesture. What the shape asks for is the question kept in play without a settled answer being forced.
Abraham on the road, bargaining down the numbers, presuming to negotiate with the Absolute and being permitted to. The form implies a task: to keep speaking without requiring the terms in writing.
