"An educated mind can entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
This installation challenged the viewer to stop and take a moment to question what they saw through experimental typography. It began by eliminating many of the comforts of a sentence. Suspended in mid-air without proper spacing, these hand-crafted, three-dimensional letters were white against a white background and spun at will.
A reflection on permeability, the materials used for the construction were paper, pencil, scotch tape, and cotton thread. After a period of time, the letters were removed and set aflame; the remaining ashes blown away by the wind. A website was created after the destruction, showing the installation through each step of its life, from conception to destruction.
