We interrogate the world by making.

Summary

This quote suggests that we come to understand and engage with the world around us by actively participating in the act of creation. Rather than passively observing, we learn more about the world's complexities and nuances by taking action and bringing forth our own ideas, innovations, and inventions. By making or creating things, we put our own perspective and interpretation into the world, allowing us to interrogate and uncover truths about ourselves and the environment in which we live.
