Hyperbole (version 1)

Hyperbole1ematted

Hyperbole literally means an excessive throw in its root words. It looks like the exclamation mark is being thrown across the picture plane in this image I just created. It is part of the B series to my Wrecked Tangles (After the Crash) art project. My subconscious mind wanted to show you all a visual depiction of a hyperbole. A hyperbole is really an exaggeration, like when someone says “holy #%% #!,” or something like that. But a hyperbole is really more of an obvious exaggeration, assuming the listener has a sense of humor and isn’t too gullible.

The exclamation mark seems to be boomeranging across the picture plane, thus giving a visual description of overthrowing an exclamation. There is also the letter F embedded in between the various patterns and matrices giving the viewer’s subconscious mind something to ponder. Like, what does F refer to? Could it mean friend? Fool? Fly? Forecast? F–k? F could really refer to anything and, depending on the state of the viewer, one can project whatever mood one is in at any given time.

The overall intent is to create a sort of dream catcher, but for the physically awake mind. It gives some structure and order as a focal point for someone to gaze into while puzzling over life’s dilemmas. I hope that my viewers Find some conclusiveness to whatever issue seems to be ailing them. That is, if they want to. Some people like to hang on to their problems, as it gives them an excuse to continue a set of behaviors for what they feel to be purposes for survival, social standing, and for reproductive activities.

So, enjoy throwing your mental exclamations into this fine fraction of a matrix, and let the answers to your problems quietly come into your mind after letting them go into it.
