THE CONSTRUCTED MOMENT

We are surrounded by constructs. We build myths, stories, histories, museums, cities, empires, and ephemera. Constructs are orders, they are lines, roads, politics, reality television, education, advertising, all put in place to instill instructions for society, to trigger behaviors in people, to strategically plan results of happening events. If one chooses to ignore certain constructs, purposefully subverting them, he/she is nevertheless forming and conforming to another set of constructs that can then be packaged into its very own construct. Our reality is a series of constructed moments.
