CLUTTER as a T(  )L: [An Index for Messy Pedagogy]

Over the course of 9 months, I gathered research spanning art, nature, history, and science and embedded it throughout the publication.

Each research topic, whether an article excerpt, image, or fragment of a larger visual, was broken into pieces of information and scattered throughout the book. Every piece was assigned a key and object number that directs readers to the next fragment.

Hundreds of these pathways unfold in different sequences, occasionally intersecting with one another to form a complex information system that can only be deciphered through the act of decluttering.

Many of us struggle with the dopamine chase and instant gratification. This book is meant to represent the exact opposite of those two things. It requires immense patience, slow observation, and effort to decipher. However, since it is a book requiring labor to read, what you learn from its contents is much more rewarding than any social media doomscroll.
