Taking a walk in nature, a child and his grandfather experience the world around
them, each having a unique perspective. By suspending what it is we think we
should see or what the other should see, both views can be embraced for their
beauty. A refreshing reminder that there is room for more than one point of
view, this story is about sharing nature together.
Continuing to reflect the story, the images also emphasize a theme of divergent
points of view by using two types of media to illustrate the different
perspectives. Landscape watercolor paintings illustrate the view of the
grandfather; while detailed-oriented macro photographs illustrate the
perspective of the child.
Both grandfather and child complete the story by holding hands while continuing
their walk together. As a reflection of personal philosophy, I hope that
multiple perspectives can be met with a similar acceptance and willingness to
share the world together.
