With our technological progress and the frightening amount of information now available, the world continues to become exceedingly complex, dissonant, and specialized. This specialization has arguably had the unfortunate side-effect of fragmenting society, including the individual, and I have tried here to share stories that instill our world instead with a sense of connection, mystery, and magic, while focusing on the difficulties inherent in the mundane. The struggle against personal self-annihilation, and the striving to bridge the ideal and the actual, is the main, recurrent thematic element that characterizes this work. born digital masters theses English eng Colorado State University.
