Behind, through and in & out

I came across this picture when going through my photo library and wondered why I kept it. It is out of focus after all. On the other hand, there is something there. There is kind of an eerie feeling hidden behind the open and closed doors. On more personal note, a certain shiver and chill runs through my veins when looking at it...

Pictures can bring out emotions one is not even aware of. So what about this picture here.

Looking from an open door passing a courtyard, shamelessly staring directly into a window of other dwelling, bypassing what I imagine is a room inside and looking through another window into somebody's garden...

This sounds rather complicated but opens up a new feeling, that of curiosity. Yes, this is one for the curious...

And one for the curious is also hidden here.


Looking at this window from the outside you notice the decorative pole inside of the window...

Intrigued?

Just follow the pole inside, searching and discovering what turns out to be surprising, visually rewarding, slightly scary and magical...

By this time, I am not interested in the pole itself anymore. I am taken in by the contrast of the outside brightness revealing quite a scene in the darkness inside. What a vista...

Let's analyse this picture. If cropped to the point that the figurative becomes abstract, one cannot help feeling certain confusion.

Mixing reality with reflection, especially if the reflection is distorted, can lead to a confusion. From a creative point of view however, one could see the answer to a conundrum of possibly some time. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with seeking such situations, as long as you bring yourself down to earth again.

Creative confusion can be helpful...




What a journey from eerie feelings to becoming curious to gaining knowledge from a confusion. Looking at situations, realising emotions, pinpointing feelings connected to them and being open to suggestions coming from them can enrich you.

Therefore, have you ever wondered what is behind that door, through the wall, or simply what is the relationship between the inside & the outside? Just notice, pause and have a thought.
