"Think of how many images come to our brains every day. They bombard us with incredible rapidity. If we had to stop and analyze each one, we would be quickly overwhelmed. Instead, we've developed a sort of defense mechanism that instantaneously, unconsciously handles the task for us. We classify. We drop the image into a mental box where we can forget about it and move on.

The problem with this is that such "handling" of images also means they are dismissed — and therefore disempowered. They are no longer a means toward gaining knowledge. Their potential for enlightening us evaporates. If, however, the image remains a mystery — why, what, how, when — it motivates us to explore and stretch our imagination. In my way of thinking, this is where art has meaning — in its ability to stretch our imagination and cause us to think more critically about our world and the human condition.

So, as art makers we need to be careful about slamming the doors of perception shut by explaining too much, too soon."daily.lenswork.com
