The Structure of Ego

An digitally composed monoline segment symbol set inspired by Thomas C. Odens "The structure of Awareness" (1969)

Symbol Set

Project Overview


Duration: 8 weeks (2024, cont. 2025)

Originally intended as an educational symbol set, The Structure of Ego took a more playful route as my stylistic inclinations led me towards an animal theme. Each symbol is inspired by a branch of Odens' “structure of Boredom” diagram. As I delved into my research on his work, I explored the traditional affiliations between certain animals and the structural concepts; this is what led me to my final illustration pairings.
