Description
Seeing Through the Literary Lens reflects the way literature reshapes perception, offering new angles on what appears ordinary. Through the act of reading, streets, buildings, and encounters become charged with symbolic depth, illuminated by language’s capacity to transform the familiar.
The composition sets a central figure with an open book amid a divided cityscape: one side marked by everyday signs like Main St, the other by allegorical forms of moon, star, and cathedral-like structures. This duality captures how literature moves between surface and symbol, observation and interpretation.
In dialogue with the spaces where it hangs, the piece reminds the viewer that reading alters sight. It emphasizes how the literary lens reveals layers in the visible world, turning common scenes into a field of narrative and insight.
