Renment

“We forge the chains we wear in life” is an aphorism based on a work by Charles Dickens. This chain is a metaphor for heavy and unbreakable things that bind our ideas and emotions. That is, words that tend to possess our minds and souls can also become chains. This inspired me to create a device that forms letters with chains. The device named "Renment" automatically writes the above aphorism. When the device finishes writing, the words are deconstructed, the letters return to the chains, and blanks remain. Then, the automatic writing begins again.
