Criticism
A Symposium of the Natural World by Malik Wilson
October 15, 2025
Spaces, as described by French philosopher Francois Bachelard, are fragrant, pregnant, full of secret meanings. They inform us, they describe us, creating a kind of decorated parfait - an inescapable odor of meaning. In A Symposium of the Natural World, Malik Wilson wades back into the earlier years, telling a dreamlike, childlike fable of natural enchantment, youthful wonder, and the fierce beauty that surrounds us.
