We seek out difference all the time. We look for the edges of things, for their boundaries, in order to see them clearly.
But nothing exists in a vacuum.
Every”thing” we see we have abstracted from its context. We focus on only some of what we see in order to see what we are focusing on.
I’ve read there are no foregrounds without backgrounds.
If it’s true that every”thing” is inextricably linked to its environment and is constantly changing or evolving, then we should be wary of this whole process of separating and labelling.
The beauty in the above image is, I think, in the interplay between the wall and the cross, each of which would be diminished by the removal of the other.
