In linguistics, deixis refers to words that require context to convey specific meaning. These words point to particular times, places, or situations relative to the speaker. Without this contextual framework, words become ambiguous and slippery

In my practice, I deliberately remove this context to allow found texts to reveal new interpretative possibilities. For this work, I selected one of my favorite childhood books and applied correctional fluid to obscure both linguistic and visual contextual elements. This process frames context as something to be corrected, inviting readers to fill these gaps with their own experiences and contexts
