Perception, Memory And Time In the Sensual World
[ send me this essay ]
20 pages in length. Art is a language unto itself that speaks to the communal need for expression. Every individual -- no matter their origin or language -- has an inherent desire to express emotions, as well as to have these expressions understood. Art is such a universally recognized method of this statement that there exist no barriers with regard to interpretation. The mere fact that the human element is the primary implication in creating a particular work of art is enough of a connection to render any barrier obsolete; only when the erratic images of fractured time and space are again brought back into the mix are those boundaries erected once more. Clearly, the very essence of art transcends the otherwise finite and restrictive nature of expression; in order to bypass these barriers, one must reach beyond the limited scope of mortal time and space to achieve a more esoteric portrayal of perception, memory and time within the sensual world. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
