INNOCUOUS

INNOCUOUS is a book I’ve been working on roughly since 2018. The original idea for this book came from simply noticing how violent a simple STOP sign is, and asking myself what subliminal effects that STOP sign might have on me.

The project has grown from that point into something that attempts to examine what I like to call “public facing language” or PFL. I became incredibly interested in the different spaces PFL was employed in, how it was structured differently for each space, and the various effects I was able to observe in myself as a result of my increased awareness of PFL.

I think it’s important to say that this book comes from a place of both anger and sorrow. Impotent anger at being born into a world so riddled with casual violence and sorrow borne for those who have succumbed to the gristmill of language.
