Description
Formerly titled 'Tears of Ambiguity's Apparition' (2008), a title that in itself is still noticeably evident. Yet - and is often the case - the metaphorical imply can as well be tested to other categorical questioning; in this case questions more in measure of cognitive processes than Nature's appearance.
The former title was in measure to the metaphor of 'tears' and is still perceptually convincing. In said measure the image takes into it, the apprehensions currently voiced to environment et al. Wordless in its format as an image, it is yet most provocative...And I dare say could springboard many a viewer to pen a beseech, in poem or prose, to the anxieties surrounding the implications. All true today as was it in 2008.
But where the image [in metaphor of a human] is trapped in its confine, its object form; the marvel of human mind can, in a manner of speaking, accept it maturing, subjectively, to the 'what-else-ness' that it might imply. Without 'assigning' anthropomorphic character - for that would be merely foolish - our gifts of imagination, intuition and 'curiosity' might easily entertain the notions of semblance, And in so, in imaginal wonder, consider itself in free associative exchange with phenomena, in the true sense of the word - a situation experienced, where the cause, or its explanation is yet in question.
So in that framing of a mindset, while retrieving the image from the limbo of its matrix, as mechanical file, it became most evident, to this viewer, that the two of us [image and viewer] had, in a way, moved beyond 2008. And if we are to enjoy 2017 and beyond, we might do it in mutual recognition of each other; I by assigning new title and it by smiling at me...Oh! you see no smile?...Well then you surely saw its wink!....
