Student Narrative
There is something unimaginable about utopia that is not dissimilar to our understanding of infinity. Both are in some way beyond language, beyond thought. This book considers the infinity symbol as a word-like form, making reference to the act of writing, of putting ink to paper, to suggest connections between language’s inadequacy and the twin pursuits of the infinite and the utopic.
