RUNAWAY

Around this time I also began to think about an offshoot of syntax crystals and how separate words can come together to create new words. In this case, I thought about how the word itself can define itself in a meta way. The word RUNAWAY can be separated into two words RUN & AWAY. We can create a literal narrative by progressively separating the words line after line; giving the illusion of movement. As the words diverge from each other, they exude a certain truth about the word RUNAWAY, which is RUNAWAY can RUN AWAY from itself. The structure also resembles a pair of legs in motion, as if to insinuate the act of walking or running. I call these kinds of phenomenon, Word Zippers. This one happens to diverge from one another, most of the ones you'll see in the future will be the opposite; separate words converging/crashing/merging into a brand new word.
