Each individual represents a unique world, and people, collectively, are a mosaic of these individual worlds. The world we project from within ourselves, and subsequently perceive through our senses, is the world as we understand it. As a result, diverse individuals hold distinct worldviews, leading them to perceive and interpret the world in their own unique ways.
Consider for a moment that the vast Hubble universe we know today might merely be a minuscule cell on a leaf within a much larger cosmic tree. Within this macroscopic leaf, we might find an intricate, microscopic world teeming with countless other worlds.
The fact is, the physical world is essentially a construct based on a commonly agreed-upon perception. It is through this shared perception that the physical world takes shape and is recognized by the majority.
However, what if this standard perception was flawed, or if there were no universally accepted standard at all? In such a scenario, the definitions of ‘world,’ ‘city,’ and ‘architecture’ would become open questions.
Confronted with this enigmatic and unknown world, we continue to take our lives seriously, even if these might be regarded as someone else's playthings.
What underlies the way people perceive the world? How should we navigate the concepts of rules, common knowledge, experience, standards and correctness? These are questions that invite us to reflect on the very essence of our existence.
In my [A]FA Integration, I investigated artworks and theories related to ‘perception of the world’ and translated them through paintings and animations, incorporating my own thoughts and experiences.
