THE GESTURE OF DESTROYING

Digital/ Publication
2026

The Gesture of Destroying began with an interest in unreadable letters, or asemic writing, and treats text not as language but as a visual tool. In this project, letters collected from the chapter Gesture of Destroying in Vilém Flusser’s Gestures respond to the user’s hand movements, scattering and rearranging freely.

Inspired by the line, Disturbance and destruction are not evil, however, as long as they have an intention, the project explores what happens when the order and structure of language are disrupted and ignored, allowing text to operate as form and pattern rather than meaning.
