Entropy of Language

Traditional Hand drawn abstract illustration. Fine-liner and Marker Pen on Newsprint Paper.

In this drawing series: I break apart emoticons. Using hieroglyphs and characters from different languages. Wrapped in an an explosion of pattern.

Some of these symbols are taken from ancient alphabets from languages considered dead; to add to the idea of decay. 

The story behind the work is to illustrate how languages evolve. They are not set in stone there are forever changing and this fluidity is the driver behind the series.
