This is a digital essay, or at least I think it is. I personally have a hard time defining a digital essay vs. a website, but this is my interpretation of the form. How to navigate the essay is up to you. I recommend reading the sections from left to right as they appear in the menu at the top of the page. All links and images serve to enhance the text in some way or another, whether it be to provide deeper understanding or to attempt to show you my mindset while I created this. That being said feel free to read things out of order, ignore all supplementary materials,  or do something really weird like reading every fifth sentence and seeing what happens. This work embraces the definition of an essay as an attempt. An attempt inherently involves pushing boundaries and juxtaposing the old and new, so as you peruse my attempt feel free to embark on your own trials and tribulations through the content. I should mention the image you see above remains on every page, so do not assume the next page didn’t load when you click on it you simply have to scroll down.

Enjoy
