why i think geocaching relates to my topic

as you all know..

i've been struggling for weeks
how to go about visually expressing my thesis idea-which may sound too abstract and broad.
and the geocaching sparked my imagination to build a structure for me to carry out.

i will try to incorporate the idea of "seceret" in language, using 'geocaching' as an example.

the whole goecaching experience, both for hider and seeker, springs from the idea of "chance operation" that the fluxes was interested in. no one exactly knows how, what, why the hider hides or the seeker finds, and everything pretty much happens out of random choices and chance that are beyond our understanding and language.
for example,
-reason behind the very act of choosing a particular cache to go find it,
-the process and experience of finding it,
-seeing, touching, possessing the actual thing - but after all never will be able to fully understand why, how or where the thing came from, what the thing means (to both the hider and seeker) and it remains as a mystery or "secret".




in short, this is why i think geocaching relates to my topic.

in geocaching, you are in search of a "thing"(the cache),
and the aim is to find it and possess it,
yet the "thing"(the cache) itself doesn't capture the essence of
geocaching experience as a whole.
...just as
"language is never adequate in capturing the essence of a thing in its entirety,
because the thing overflows the boundaries of language."
