Essay in French means 'tentative.' The provisional nature of essay form makes it a medium of writing that is potentially most free yet precise channel of what one wants to express — for anyone to be able to frame & visualize a thought or an image or a concept that one sees into writing — to make invisible visible, like taking a photograph with the mind's eye.

​​

Other than telling stories with characters, constructing a tight-rope logic from premise to conclusion, a research paper with citations, there is room for the kind of writing that gives form to thought that articulates what you see as you see it — making it directly accessible to the general public.

How do you give form to thought?
