Fail & Hendekagon – Lines
Lines are a fundamental aspect of human existence. From the lines we draw in the sand to the lines we use to define borders and boundaries, lines have played a central role in shaping our understanding of the world around us. Yet, despite their ubiquity, lines remain a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has fascinated philosophers, mathematicians, and artists for centuries.
However, societal lines can be blurred and bent. Over the last decade, the world has seen much change, with absolutes like law, justice, truth, and even good vs. evil no longer meaning what it should. When lines disappear, familiar shapes and paths disintegrate with them, making the world and life in general far more difficult to navigate. A lack of lines creates a lack of direction.
