The trajectory of digital technology takes us beyond the confines of literacy to a form of communication that is image-based — immediate and highly detailed, specific and universal at once. Instead of speaking, writing, or even texting, the narrative is told with a series of images. Digitally envisioned and printed, the story is a mundane tale of dreamy escape from the demands of the urban landscape. The pentagonal form emphasizes the geometry of real life.
