dc.description.abstractThis paper communicates the entanglement between ourselves and our words through the lens of glass and process. Beginning with our ego-centric ways of thinking, I analyze how this type of perception is so heavily rooted in our language. Methods of communicating with one another, including spoken words, gestures, chats, and computer systems make up this gray area between what we are attempting to communicate and what is heard. My work demonstrates how, oftentimes, the pauses in our interactions can be more impactful. I question the effects of overlaps and interruptions in conversations: are they more than just another tap on the shoulder? Our necessity to communicate is constant, however, our ways of communicating and our interpretations are constantly changing. Under the current climate, how do we continue to reach out to one another, and what does our social distancing look like today?en_US
