知恵 (chie)- this translates to wisdom/ to know one's blessings; Contextually, the use of these Kanji conveys a sense of recognition for one's digital impact. Digital footprint both connects and distances many, so our recognition of its impact is the first step to understanding how creation can impact one's destiny, life, career, or simply their expression in a more controllable way than imagined.
いち、に、さん、し (ichi, ni, san, shi)- this translates to the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.
Contextually, these numbers represent our current and future generational exposure to the uncensored and opportunist aspects of the internet, conveying an almost childlike grasp on the internet's actual capabilities; As well as this, it creates a dichotomy of childlike understanding of the internet's capabilities versus exposure and desensitization to the internet since a very young age. It reinforces the idea of endless capability at our fingertips being current/ future generations' "norm" versus the truth that the internet is wildly unexplored and often holds capabilities we are not even aware of as a society.
