PHILOSOPHY // An envelope is a threshold. Between private and public; objective and subjective.
A membrane that holds things in, and a barrier that keeps things out. It’s an ontological immune system, politicized at its inception. It’s a womb that nurtures the growth of ideas, movements, and revolutions, yet can also become an echo chambers of ego and solipsism. It’s a network of liberating utopics, but also a bubble of exclusivity and hate.
The envelope is not the problem, nor is it the solution. It is the mirror we see ourselves in. It’s the architecture we build our societies on. The identities that give us purpose. But even seemingly impenetrable walls of stone, steel, and political ideology can be punctured by the slow persistence of critical discussion.
Like water and air, critical thought will find a way to deconstruct norms through cultural (thermo)dynamics. Oxidizing the occidental, eroding the monumental, and embracing the aberrant. The scaffolding, metaphysics, and subterrain that is generated by our present happenings. The types of envelopes we create, sustain, or destroy will define our futures together, and it is the task of the citizen–designer to interrogate these truths.
