Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there's someone there to see us. We cannot properly speak until there's someone who can understand what we are saying. In essence, we are not wholly alive, until we are loved.

You can take a 📷 of a leaf but that doesn't mean you've taken possession of this thing in your soul. Only when you ask yourself questions, e.g.: is that side of the leaf darker or lighter than the other, that we start to notice details. 2/2
Alain de Botton
We need to make ourselves pay attention. Ironically, the ease with which we can create a 📷 works against our very desire to notice properly. We may have to do a subtler thing: discover what something means to us. We may need to put the📷 down and sketch. 1/2
"No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life!"
Samuel Johnson to his friend James Boswell while they were discussing whether moving from Scotland to London, Boswell might eventually grow bored of what the city had to offer.

Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.

@ampomata Thanks so much for this, Ángeles, I've just viewed more of his art. Love his imagination, the unusual perspectives...
"I wanted to convey the enormity of these mountains, as compared to the man-made highway. This is the feeling I get when I look at a master painter's work, as if I am standing in awe at the feet of a giant."

Through the lens of beauty, art has the power to ground us in reality, validating our many difficult experiences, all while uplifting us to a higher, more hopeful state of humanity.

@mironele Nu-i aşa?? Am comandat cartea, o ediție germană, second hand, dar nu a sosit încă. Ilustratiile astea sunt tot din carte. Am mai găsit una, tot pe genul acesta, tot cu acuarele de Alessandro Sanna: "Pinocchio, The Origin Story". Pare f. interesantă.
