Metaphors On Vision

I found this reading extremely eye-opening because it suggested the importance of the imagination our vision gives us and ultimately how it relates to an artist. It was interesting thinking about the lives of infants who do not label the world in comparison to the proceeding years of growing and learning. Artists strive to see the world how it is not how they know it to be, much like newborns. Babies are unaware of this, but they're limited knowledge is actually an asset that many people would be lucky to find. Imagination would be much easier to build off of with no boundaries of what people learn in life. This however is entirely ironic, but it is what we learn in life that gives us depth and a reason for living, which are key for producing art. Since it is impossible to have both we must learn the lesson of taking what we know in combination with simply our vision and simply what we see to create the ultimate imagination. With this all of our fears can be objectified and more easily disregarded so we can reach ultimate creativity, love, and happiness. Much like this reading was concluded, vision is a language and speaking it is a necessity.
