Sensory richness
Narrative hinted
Never fully revealed
The slight disarray, the seemingly casual placement of objects, doesn’t feel random; rather, it suggests a lived-in quality, a history of use and interaction.
“Art is the creation of forms symbolic of human feeling.” – Susanne Langer
Metal rack
Vibrant tapestry
Visual force
An image that captures the tension between the Apollonian and the Dionysian, embodies the Will to Power, and hints at the flux and impermanence of existence.
“It is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
Vibrant entity
Verdant hue
Field of potentiality
The image invites us to ponder not just what we see, but how we see, and what that seeing reveals about our being-in-the-world.
“The world is inseparable from the subject, but from a subject which is nothing but a project of the world, and the subject is inseparable from the world, but from a world which it projects.” – Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Silent testament
Order and division
Shoe shine station
The reflective surface introduces an element of the ephemeral, a shimmering layer that both mirrors and refracts the solid world, reminding us of the ever-shifting nature of perception.
“The journey of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Edith Stein
Contained possibility
Inherent directedness
Realm of values
The silent sermon of the hoop is a reminder that even in stillness, the potential for value resonates, waiting for the moment of its realization.
“All feeling is feeling something, all willing is willing something, all striving is striving for something, all loving is loving something, all hating is hating something, all believing is believing something, all hoping is hoping something, all fearing is fearing something, all commanding is commanding something, all obeying is obeying something, all thinking is thinking something, all representing is representing something.” – Max Scheler
Palimpsest of experience
Apparent simplicity
Profound mystery
Here the photograph is used as a paradigm to reflect something from within.
“When the presentation is such that the viewer does not know what he is looking at, he will look at what he is thinking about.” – Minor White
Sensation locus
Idea manifestation
Material form
This wooden figure incarnates the archetype of the ranger, the guardian of nature, through the simplified, almost primitive form of the doll.
“The work of art is a world, but a world in which mystery is not abolished.” – Mikel Dufrenne
Solar system
Cosmic levitation
Incongruity
A semiotic artifact invites us to engage in a process of interpretation.
“I’m not disillusioned. I’m just not illusioned, either.” – Bob Dylan
Indeterminate space
Sense of liminality
State of flux
The hangers are not fixed entities, but rather manifestations of an underlying spiritual activity, a ceaseless process of creation and dissolution.
“Art is expression of impressions, not expression of expressions.” – Benedetto Crocea
Gilded sphere
Vessel for light
Suspended in space
The power of art transcends language and interpretation, to speak directly to our senses and our souls.
“Art is not illustration; nor is it proof. Instead, art is an invitation to experience.” – Susan Sontag
