Though this image was created back in 2011, I pulled it out just this evening, and reworked a few things to render the results you see here. It attracted my attention because I had also been reviewing some philosophical ideas of mine concerning structure.
It seems like most everything people make or create is designed to increase structure, safety, security, understanding, protection, and stability. This goes for language, and the standardized understandings contained within languages, idioms and all.
I noticed this structural tendency manifesting in many of my digital art works. It’s almost like I’m on a search for security with the adventures of my mind. And I want to share these way points for you so that you may also experience the abstract stories I embark on as well.
With this particular piece, it looks like there are four pillars leaning towards each other and towards the center of this image. Pillars are symbolic of long lasting strength. In ancient Roman and Greek times, pillars were used for governmental and religious buildings. They were designed to give the people of the land a sense of continuity, stability, strength, and safety, if not even democracy.
It looks like you are looking down at the pillars here however, and their leaning perspectives are aimed outwards towards the corners of the picture, while the tops of them are leaning inward. This triggers the sense that perhaps perspective, as we understand it, isn’t always one dimensional, and that it could, perhaps, be multi-dimensional in other alien perceptions.
