What is an image?
After
sitting with this question for a couple of weeks I’ve come to think
that an image of something that is not necessarily concrete. Meaning it
doesn’t really exists for all to see, of course it could be a picture
on a wall, a book, a screen anything that can be seen with the eye. But
I think of an image as something that lives in the mind, a memory, an
idea, a misinterpretation. It can be shaped by mood, feeling,
experience, time, light, perhaps the list of variables is endless. I
often wonder, if two people look at the same thing do they see the same
thing? And I would say, no, they never do. When two people look at the
same painting they will invariably see the same thing through different
lenses, tinted by the unique chemistry that constitutes that person.
An image is seen and enters into an ephemeral, ever-evolving place of
memory and experience. Conjuring an emotional response or evoking a
physical reaction, an image is not just visual and can trigger sensation
and engage all the senses. So I would argue that in fact an image
could exist for someone who has never been able to see anything.
Texture is the dominant characteristic of card VI,
which often elicits association related to interpersonal closeness; it
is specifically a "sex card", its likely sexual percepts being reported
more frequently than in any other card, even though other cards have a
greater variety of commonly seen sexual contents.
