RULES OF THE GAME is an ongoing series, exploring the relationships between language and the access to understanding. Taking the familiar forms of the Latin alphabet, the works distort and translate letters into unfamiliar and vague shapes - presenting moments of abstract beauty and misleading visuals that pull us away from their true meaning, questioning how language can be used intentionally to mislead, beguile, and decieve, while remaining familiar and innocent.

We're whitepilled. We're lawyered up, in the court of clout. Nothing we can do can be cringe, except when it is and then we don't care, we don't care.
