In this publication, I narrate three self-reflective, autobiographical episodes, accompanied by brief notes on each punctuation mark, highlighting the parallel between my existence and muted indications within ‘structures’—the former exists in society and the latter in writing. Types are set to subvert the existing rules, with page numbers being placed in the centre, while images and text drifting along the peripheries. A less hierarchical approach across the publication, with footnotes at the same eye level as the main text, is strategised to facilitate a deeper and equal understanding of two subject matters that are perpetually marginalised and muted.
