History is a story. A man, a woman is a narrative. With each moment of our beings, we sift through the scattered array of images and experiences woven through our discourse to create the illusion of a coherent, cohesive self. And, despite our attachment to this image, reality remains fluid. We dart between the terms assigned to them, dancing from signifier to the signified, constructing our beings along the lines and traces of countless stories. We are then in constant motion, weaving multiple paths through the clutter of the human experience to constantly re-create and re-imagine the nature of our reality. Being is a process; meaning is a construction, created in dialogue between a reader and a writer across the man-imagined boundaries of time and space.
