“The words we speak are our own, yet they exist outside of us and in the objective world.” In this work I tried to harness lines into the “right” configurations (alphabetic characters), knowing all the while that they are just an endless maze, a sea of consciousness that doesn’t speak any language we can decipher. Until we come along and assign them a communicative value, these lines are just lines, and they are happy simply being that. The ideas for this piece lie in asemic writings, a corollary idea to the main point of the essay but an important one nonetheless.
