that is actually just an “illuminated depression in the space.” A black square is hanging on the ceiling which is a “portal to the sky.” Turrell uses all of these interesting shapes and light techniques because he likes the way light gives way to perception. This is something that has always fascinated him. It also relates back to old building techniques. He hopes his viewers enter a self-reflexivity state of mind while looking at this piece. He wants them to be able to “see themselves…

people were picking up trash and garbage is not a good image for people to look at. Lars Eighter had many positive and rational thinking about scavenging and it’s not a bad thing. However, there were also differences between his mind set and my perception. Eighter did not embraces his opinion, he said “I can hardly think of without picturing a big black snail on an aquarium wall”. He liked the way he lived with a comfortable life.

the understanding another person has of the same word. If you were to ask ten people what they believe love is, you would probably get ten different answers. How we define emotive words depends a lot on our own personal experiences, beliefs, and perceptions. Emotions can be very messy and very personal, so it makes sense that the words that we use to describe them would be a little hard to define. We need to remember to use clear language and facts along with our emotive language if we want to…

stimulated. In the Meditations, Descartes examine sensory perception and the role in plays in our lives. He questions how powerful but at the same time insufficient sensory perception is to the overall aspect of the mind. Descartes wants to examine the connection between the mind and body.

If any other person comes along and looks upon the art, their interpretations will almost assuredly be different, if only slightly. The world that you perceive yourself living in is one that is exclusive to you.

My admiration has become an obsession to understand and I am trying to envisage you with my superficial knowledge but it’s abstruse, because my knowledge is like a needle in an ocean. You’re concealed from my perceptions but yet you are closer to my jugular veins, where blood is pertinent, which impels from my head and ensue to the heart and that 's where you have placed me, I am the soul representing the body with senses, I feel and yet I cannot see, because it’s…

Discoveries can be self-driven initiatives, or thrust upon us through unwitting circumstances, compelling us to examine core beliefs about ourselves and ultimately renewing our perceptions of the world around us (epistemological). Ang Lee’s film Life of Pi (2012) is not merely a triumphant masterpiece of cinematic diversity but a fantastical trajectory of the human soul from a position of spiritual and emotional disorientation (theological) and into a habitat of inner clarity and gratification,…
