Inspired by the writings of Vilem Flusser, Return to Hieroglyphics is a series of electric lights that emulate electric screens. Written language started as images, cave drawings, and hieroglyphics before linear texts (books, written language).

Increasingly, meaning is being derived from images, movies, memes, and emoticons with interest in books and linear texts waning. A return to hieroglyphics.
