Render from the French verb meaning "return" and "render" suggests movement or shift in time and space. This work explores these actions in context to contemporary uses of language on social media where latin typography is used to phonetically reflect colloquial Arabic. This is a common process for digital communication which has functioned to maintain while altering the French language in former French colonies in North Africa particularly in Algerian dialect. Inspired by this process of visual translation, each piece presents unique typographic compositions. Each configuration channels the ability for interface to facilitate the use of creolized languages, and present a space where multiple systems of language are playfully interlaced to visualize a new set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language.
