I perceive the world in terms of who I am, and what I have met in life and project this onto the world that I perceive. Aware of this and the fact that the nature of things is independent of my senses, I may be able to escape the dumber sorts of illusions. However, I have only my own perceptions of the world thus the world is only a reflection of my own sensibilities.
This work is very reminiscent of Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo.
