visualising a design - 300 word narrative

Hesitating, I am walking through the haze of short sightedness. The narrow field of vision down this linear path restricts my capacity to evolve. The restricted development of urban landscapes parallels this path that I take. The repetitive nature of the built environment echoes my footsteps. As I look around the sea of materiality begins to blend into lifeless architecture. Time continues to pass, and the lack of inspiration begins to crave a desire, a motivation to begin something new.

What if there is more than just what is accepted? What if uniformity breaks away from barriers of conformity? How do I go about realizing the unknown? Do the potential pitfalls of the unknown make the rebellious gesture worthwhile? The mind is conflicted at the best of times as I begin to grapple with these concepts. There’s a fury in my head as I try to leave the ghost at the back of my head. But something needs to change otherwise this linear development will lead to a dead end, instead of evolving.

I continue to walk, and the linear thoughts begin to unravel into a network of ideas like a microchip. My footsteps begin to hasten as the urgency of the situation appeals to my survival. I begin to leave a trail of destruction in my wake. The barriers begin to break down, and old habits are left to be desired. This spark that is in me begins to electrify my thoughts, just like how technology has morphed the built environment that we live in. There is a light at the end of the tunnel that blinds the horrors here.
