Intangibility

Madness,

                               Pure

             Madness...

Is 

there 

Any

Tangibility

In Sight?

 

                                             Leading the Mind

To Wander. 

                                            Why?

 

Out of Scale 

and

                                               Out of Context,

No Sense

May Come. 

 

Sweep

                           Away

                                                      Confusion           to

Reveal 

a

Reality.

 

A Surreal World,

Parallel to Our

Own.

 

Mirrors Lend

No

                                Reflection,

and

Water Blends

with

                              Land 

as 

One. 

 

Is the Obvious

                                                                          Our Reality

or

Simply

the

Representation

of that

Which We 

Know?

 

    This piece represents my understanding of identity and gender, in terms of the sociocultural viewpoint. We, as individuals might well understand ourselves, and see ourselves as we are. While at the same time, there can often exist a sense of disconnectedness, of intangibility, in terms of our self-perception pertaining to society, and those around us. I chose to use indirect metaphor to illustrate our own understanding in contrast with the understanding of others, and also chose to place some of the words in the positioning that I did, in order to emphasize that disconnection.
