Filenames are a form of intimacy, performed with our thumbs and our finite attention. Consider the quiet labor of tapping keys late at night — deciding whether to keep the .jpg or convert to .png, whether to append "final" or "edit2" as if that would settle the restlessness of memory. There is tenderness in that slowness: the pixel-perfect, decisive moment when you mark one file "best" and let go of the rest. It is a tiny ritual of grief and triumph, an attempt to curate meaning in the face of infinite capture.
