Infinity
April 16th, 2008 by arielal09
After last week’s post I decided I needed to find some inspiration and since I clearly couldn’t do so in my mind, I made up my mind to look in another person’s mind. This of course doesn’t mean doing some sort of mind reading or anything a la Harry Potter style. This to me means looking at another artist’s painting or work to see if I could connect myself to that. After googling countless words, phrases, and artist’s names I could not find anything that truly pleased me. That is when I remember something Mrs. Rumford told be last week. She had showed me some abstract pictures and told be I could describe and analyze them, only doing it with art. Since I didn’t find any art I looked for photography and found the picture above. I feel like I just assumed my blog had to be about art, but now that I reconsider it “Inside the Bubble” doesn’t suggest art at all, so instead I am using photography to express myself through this blog.
I looked at several abstract pictures on the web, but this one made me think. It is weird when looking at that picture I can come up with many explanations to it. I believe when people first see this picture they think, “The beach, duh.” Well I did too but when looking at it more closely I realize that depending how you analyze it, it could just be about everything. When I look at it, it kind reminds me of the globe’s surface, rough, with mountains, plateaus, and oceans. The unclear surface also reminds me of a rocky mountain, road, or dirt itself. The round marks at the side remind me of the moons surface, full of holes, just like a Swiss cheese. The marks make me think back to sand. Those marks were not left there on their own. A dog could have step there, as well as a baby, an old man, a bird, a dead fish, a mother. Anybody could have been there when the photographer took the picture. It could mean anything to anybody, depending on who is seeing it and what they are getting out of it. The possibilities are endless.
Looking at this picture makes me think of many varying topics. What I wrote is just what I thought the moment I wrote this. Ten years from now I can look at that picture and find many varying possibilities. I do not know if this post is either inspiring or interesting, but I am okay if it is neither. I chose this picture because I could analyze it endlessly, which in effect makes you think about the possible idea of infinity.
