MathWithoutNumbers is an attempt to reconcile a trap we all fall into, a fruitless effort to make sense of the senseless. It’s like trying to pin down why a particular song touches you in a way no other does.

We’re wired to try and describe things in concrete terms, to impose some kind of order on a world that’s inherently chaotic.

In design, this often shows up as an obsession with following rigid rules, with little room for breaking away and creating something that reflects the true, messy nature of the universe and the human condition.

There’s a split between the comfort we find in order and the way it sometimes feels like a chain around us.

MathWithoutNumbers occupies this very space, where we grasp and use order, yet still manage to retain a touch of the strange, the absurd, and the ephemeral—the elements that keep our creations distinctly human.
