Yarin Heffes is a fourth-year student majoring in philosophy and physics. His creative inquiry project is a long-form written work entitled “Circular Botany.” The project experiments with literary style toward a work that feels deeply philosophical as well as emotional and captivating, except without presenting or imposing philosophical ideas or tracking a plot of any sort. The project in its completion will serve as a dense and rich, yet passive, extension of reality through which a reader may contemplate and arrive at ideas about the world from within themself. The work is not meant to teach or to persuade, and it is not meant to distract. Instead, it will simply be there for you to read in the same way that a trail in a forest is there for you to walk upon.
