"Writing the edges of reality."
This is a space for frameworks, essays, and interactive ideas — all shaped around one ongoing question: How does perception shape the world we experience?
I use writing to explore belief, symbolic systems, and meaning-making. Some of it takes the form of philosophical models. Some of it becomes zines, diagrams, or games.
All of it is meant to be explored — not just read.
Whether you’re following a thread of inquiry or just wandering with curiosity, you’re in the right place.
On the blog I post Concepts, Updates and Topics. Here are some of my favorite essays from the Topics page, but if you click the link below you can explore the full blog.

A mystical and playful dive into the nature of magick, belief, and perception.
This work unfolds across multiple identities and platforms — each one a fragment of the whole:
Digital experiments, narrative games, and interactive rituals. A portal for prototypes and strange software.

Hi, I’m Israel Ruiz.
I’m a multimedia creator and artist. Most of my creations center around the experience of existence as a human, perception, and all the strange ways we model and navigate the world.
As an artist I express the feelings and ideas I see in others and myself, but as a creator I research and model reality, then create tools that can be used to navigate and cause transformation.
I’m glad to share what I’ve learned and created, just as so many before me have done. Whether you’re an explorer, creator, or artist, know that my creations and productions are made for people like you. May they comfort, guide, and inspire so that you can do the same for your audience.
Become a patron at IsraelRuiz@BuyMeACoffee and get behind-the-scenes content and updates.
Being a patron helps a lot, but to support my work you don’t need to donate. Following my social media accounts shows support and interest in my work, which makes publishing my work way easier. You can like, follow, and share my creations on social media and that is plenty of contribution. First and foremost, I share this media for you (yes, you reading this). So have fun, be kind, do and create what you enjoy and love.
