Glympse the Inner World
The observation of an object from different angles can alter the our perceptions of that object within one and the same sense. A single glimpse suffices to identify a visual impression as ‘flower’, but it is only when you have examined the flower from all sides, that you get a complete image of what there is really to be seen. Through experience, our brains automatically complete and fill in the gaps to the slightest hint of a hypothetical image of the whole.
Herein lies the beauty of these images. A limited number of carefully chosen hints suffices to evoke the illusion that something is present there in its full sensory glory. By not depicting something as a whole and rendering the minutest information suffices to provide the minimal information necessary to evoke the desired impression.
物体を異なる角度から観察することで、その物体に対する認識が同一の感覚の中で変化することがあります。ほんの一瞬で「花」と視覚的に認識できますが、その花を全方位から観察することで、初めてその花が本当に何であるかを完全に理解することができます。経験を通じて、私たちの脳は、ほんのわずかな手がかりでも全体像の仮想的なイメージを自動的に完成させ、ギャップを埋めます。
ここにこそ、これらの画像の美しさがあります。慎重に選ばれた限られた手がかりだけで、何かがそこに存在するという感覚を、全ての感覚的な美しさを伴って喚起することができます。何かを全体として描くのではなく、最小限の情報だけで、望ましい印象を呼び起こすことが可能になるのです。
All images are for purchase
Description
Our perception of an object shifts depending on the angle we view it from. A single glance might be enough to recognize a flower, but only by observing it from different perspectives do we fully understand its form and details. Our brains naturally fill in the gaps, piecing together a complete image from limited information.
This is where the power of these images lies. With just a few carefully chosen details, they create the illusion of something whole. Rather than fully depicting a subject, they offer just enough visual hints to spark recognition and engage the viewer’s imagination.
