This paper proposes a novel semiotic approach to conceptualizing emptiness, silence, and absence, framing these notions not merely as lacks or voids to be filled, but as potent, meaningful spaces that warrant deeper exploration and valorization in our hyperconnected digital era. Drawing upon the metaphor of the darning mushroom—an object that symbolizes repair and restoration—it advocates for a semiotics of parsimony, a thoughtful restraint and conservation in our engagements and expressions. This approach is deeply entwined with the etymology of "parsimony," rooted in the practice of sparing use and careful management, extending beyond financial contexts to encompass our digital footprints and interactions. By reevaluating the semiotic significance of absence and silence, this work challenges the prevailing compulsion towards continuous presence and output, suggesting that in the spaces we choose not to fill, in the words we decide not to utter, and in the digital territories we opt not to colonize, there lies a profound form of communication and existence. It argues for a semiotic framework that appreciates the value of the unoccupied, the unsaid, and the unexpressed, as active choices that speak volumes about our cultural and individual identities in the contemporary landscape. Through this lens, recycling becomes an act of semiotic revaluation, giving new life and meaning to absence and emptiness as deliberate, meaningful engagements with the world.
