Life is already viewed in parentheses - by the filters of our neural networks, sensory paths, and egotistical worldviews. Add another set of parentheses when trying to convey that view through words or pictures. Add the pathology of requiring attestation or affirmation through social media (I created this! You like me! Tweet tweet.) (You weren't there unless you have an arms length distorted picture of yourself proving it.) There is no real world - just layers and layers of quotation marks.
i'm hoping then that imagination takes them away?
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe. There is a real life in there somewhere. Maybe it's just in the imagination.
DeleteLove the layers! And the bird in the corner!
ReplyDeleteA bird's eye view is a view an object or landscape from far above, as if the viewfinder or observer were a bird, and is often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans, and maps. In reality, though, the superiority of a bird's vision cannot be replicated. This is why the eagle or pigeon is often called as "two eyes with wings."
