Echos of one alphabet ricochet into another. I'm interested in the power dynamics within and between languages. Notably participants in this experiment struggled to remember their first alphabet, learning it again through their utterances. Does one's Mother tongue begin to fade? How does a language change our thinking patterns? As Samuel Delany's Babel 17 asserts, language is a weapon. See i n t e r v i e w for further discussion.
