The Persistance of Memory

Painting by Salvador Dali

Artworks has always been one of the most fascinating things in this world. The first time i came across this painting, i thought they wanted to bring across something relating to time. And, i was partly correct. Notice that the clocks are painted in such a way that it appears very sloppy and draggy. To me, it's something that's saying people take 'time' for granted. Just letting it pass every day as it always does.

"The painting shows four soft watches, one of which has a fly showing that time flies and another is being devoured by ants that shows decay. This is widely seen as a commentary that time is less rigid than people usually assume."

The Disintegration of the Persistance of Memory

"To Dalí, this image was symbolic of the psychological effect that the advent of the atomic bomb had on humanity."

见山不是山
见山还是山

Actually when Chu first told me that, i had no idea what it meant. To put it simply, it means to different people they may have different perceptions about things they see. This makes me realise that, that is why everyone has their own opinions, their own thoughts. For some strong headed people, they just refuse to be more open-minded and accept other people's thinkings. Hehe, food for thoughts. Thought it was worth thinking more than just that. =)
