We are thinking… +
We pin-up and dog ear and doodle, emblazoning studio space with tid bits we want to keep turning over as we work. We have created this simulacrum to invite you into our collaborative space. If you feel compelled, contact us with words or images. We are also thinking out loud on instagram. -
All we can do is produce sound waves
or written words or gestures.
That’s the main way we convey what we are thinking to other people.
A string of words isn’t what we’re thinking.
A string of words is a way of conveying
what we’re thinking.
It’s the best way we have cuz we can’t
directly show them our brain states.

It would be impossible for me to talk about my mother’s death in Chinese actually. I was only able to talk about it I think in English and I find it much easier to talk about it in English because obviously this is my second language and it gives you that distance as if you are narrating someone else’s story.
