Strung

Dirty linen in public

Although I like clean aesthetics, clutter always catches my attention. Perhaps it is so diametrically opposed to my preference that I find it somewhat alluring. And I am sure such an inkling extends way beyond photography. Sometimes it is hard to see through the clutter, especially if it flutters and obscures, but look hard and long enough and you might find doors opening. Even cracks and crevices begin to offer new apertures for exploration. There is no shame in stringing up dirty linen. After all, dirty is always subjective and such taboos are no more than social constructs. We only break away from taboos by questioning its basis. But how can one question without even stringing up the issue for discussion. Wittgenstein said that "We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all. But of course there is no question left, and that is the answer."
