4. What is the relationship between the way you visually “see” the world and the way you “experience” the world?
For me, being an artist, I see the world in color, line, shape, and dimension (this is how I currently see things because I have trained my eye to see the way that a painter/photographer sees). I experience all of these things in the sense that when I see certain colors, shapes, etc. that are appealing to me, I want to either photograph or paint them. I experience what I see in a way that makes me want to retell the story of what I see through art.
