The Sea and Personalities

2 02 2010

In Chinese, there is a proverbs “海纳百川(all rivers run into sea)” which describes the sea refusing no river. And we use it to describe something can contain lots of different types, and sometimes to describe a person who is magnanimous,  tolerant and forgiving.

In my opinion, the sea is really like a person. Beneath the peaceful surface, there is huge number of marine organisms fighting or eating lower organisms of marine food chain.  People like covering up emotions they have, and protend to be kind or calm.

The point is interesting, should be considered.

I am always enamoured with silhouette, shadow which represent a simplified world. Silhouette keeps outline but reduces complex detail of surface.

I found a beautiful silhouette behind a huge sculpture in V&A Museum. Because parts of sculpture are far from the wall, but parts of are close,  the shadow combines clear and obscure well.

I need more definitions about “simplicity”, to search it in my personal experience.

Yesterday, I went to an exhibition, when I waited for my friends, I took some photos what I think is simple.
