Life Imitating Art
When taking a step back changes things
Most people go to art museums to be stretched and elevated in some way. That’s generally why I go too. But sometimes I can’t help but notice when the lines get blurred: when you see a human not just looking at the art, but looking like the art.
And if that’s not trippy enough, there’s the time-travel aspect: those moments where the centuries-old subjects in an art piece seem to be actively taking in the human taking in the art.
Who is mirroring whom?
Has anyone else experienced this blending of time and space? When you’re reminded that things are not what they seem?
Take a look at the photos below and enjoy today’s playful blurring of reality.
Which one makes you stop? Which one makes you see a different side of things?
More importantly, what would happen if you took a step back in general? What would life look like to you then?
Ahhh 💛

In case you missed it…
Oh I love these photos! How fun to take the viewer and make her the art! I loved especially the one about foreword! She reminds me of your piece today about what our fashion says about us.
