This week Ann-Christine challenges us to explore the word Angles and Perceptions using pictures. Not necessarily geometric angles (although there are numerous angles in each flower) but photographs looking at the same object from different angles and observing it from a different perspective, which in turn influences our perception of the world! She says “the importance of different ways of seeing the same object, thing, person, happening…cannot be overestimated.” Viewing objects this way and forming a new perception is very powerful!
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” – William Shakespeare
I decided to show this beautiful hibiscus on the table from different angles; also note the numerous geometric angles on the flower! Am wondering if your perception of this flower changes after seeing it…
Did one or two pictures catch your eye and perhaps you “see” this flower differently now?
In life, a preconceived perception of something determines our thoughts about it. Wonder what would happen if we took a step back and looked at things from different angles. This is only images of a flower, but imagine possible consequences if a project you are working on or an important idea you would like to pursue is viewed from several different angles you had not discovered yet. And in turn, this could alter or broaden your perception and open the door to a new idea or life change.
“One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one’s perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.” – Tom Robbins
