INFRASTRUCTURE SIGN DESIGN Despite one hundred and eighty pounds of biological compounds, what else am I made of? A soul that deviates from the metaphysics? Or souls that schizophrenize? But what is a Soul? Is it a mystically and metaphysically charged entity? Or is it just another body relatively transparent to us? Nor absolute question neither answer exist. However, some paths or selections do relatively weigh more than the other: Neither soul nor sign is singular and constant: they initiate, mutate, and wither in a continuous yet non-linear manner. If Sign is a bracket [ ] , a temporal capture of the perceivable yet incomprehensible reality, than Design will probably a trajectory that is defined by { [ ], [ ], [ ], .....} So to myself; instead of being included in an spatial-temporal fixation, I want to be included in an exclusion that floods constantly into the other. Instead of being signed by glories, comforts, and rewards. I want to be signed and designed limitlessly, and look for souls that aren’t available and bodies that aren’t embodied.
