Description
detail ofmore and more, I come to believe, that we see only what we want to see, or hear only what we want to hear... we understand "life" by our own perceptive mold - very narrow and limited I'm afraid
and we should remember it every time we're very sure of ourselves that we "know" the truth, that we "understand" the world...

I think you just inspired me to do something Really Cool, but I don't know if my landlord would appreciate me painting on the walls.

I prefer this one because it is both cut and pierced in more ways. The ring that pierces is piercing a smaller ring (which could also do the same). It is cut by the canvas, and yet it cuts the canvas. The ring pierces what appears to be a out-of-focus nipple (though it must be the shadow of the wire loops), which takes on a flesh-like texture as a shadow.
PIERCING is an anagram for EPIC RING, but since it comes from GIVE ME YOUR HAND, it also anagrams into NICE GRIP.
It's not so much that we perceive only what we WANT to perceive, it's that our conscious mind is mostly a filter for keeping out sensory input. It's the interpretive process that limits perception, but when one pauses, one can see that there is far more bandwidth than one usually processes.
To "know" in the ancient sense of the word (GNOSIS) is to take in the whole bandwith and "perceive" it wholistically. Unfortunately, what we usually think we know is a pale shadow of all the superpositions that are otherwise there both back and forth in the temporal flow (which is an illusion).
What you did with this piece, for example, was to "discover" aspects for the viewer and present them like a director might. Your choice of titles was an interpretive nudge (a bandwidth filter, or a tuner -- maybe a capacitor) that initiates the viewer before s/he goes on to other associations.
What I like about your gallery is that -- by giving multiple examples of a piece -- you are also providing a "behind the scenes" or "the making of" a particular presentation. We get to see both of Schroedinger's cats without having to "kill" one of them.
Cheers!

I like the detail better than the original. Makes ones mind wander.

i know its a detail, i know how it was made (well, not really) but i still "feel" those two images totally different.
makes you think (and rethink) about points of view and realities and their interpretation. and makes you scared of what you might discover.
aside of this, i find this image fascinating and very clever !
