{a violent intersection}

{a violent intersection} brings ideas between psychology and mathematics together, which evolved when finding a way to work with the breakages that came with the found windows. While reading a collection of essays titled Counterfactual Thinking - Counterfactual Writing which explores this term across a field of studies, in the essay by Robyn Warhol, titled What Might Have Been Is Not What Is, she refers to a psychological understanding of a counterfactual scenario, as bringing together conflicting situations, to gain insights into the causes of actual outcomes. Using a Venn diagram as a symbol I formed a union between the two broken windowpanes and enclosed the shattered area between an open and closed curly bracket, which are hand painted, as a sign.
