Artist's Comments

This should be in scraps (perhaps even deeper below scraps) when it comes to quality.... :XD: But I had this idea last night when thinking about what's out there.... beyond what our imaginations can come up with. Here's this poor box creature that has spent all his life in a box, living in a box house, driving his box car, watching 'the' box (TV :D ) when suddenly he discovers a doorway in his box universe that bares a handle in a shape he could not have even possibly dreamed up. He opens the door, steps outside his box and witnesses something beyond his wildest imagination,.... the unimaginable....... Can you fathom witnessing something beyond your imagination? Is it even possible? I don't know.
So.. this is one of three ideas for art I had yesterday while listening to a song by Korn called "Hollow Life".

He seems to have expected really something different
:icondyun:
Yep,... he sure did. He had no idea what he would find behind that door, but this was beyond his comprehension. Straight lines is all he ever knew, so who would have ever guessed that lines could be squiggly or round too?? :faint: :D In his box world this was an impossibility.

SPONGEBOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
j/k! :P

Interesting idea. You lost me with the box in a box in a box... and then a circular doorknob? I'd be confused too. :D :P Cool piece. :)

:XD: O.K. let me try to explain slowly. You know how we imagine terrible beasts, dragons, aliens, etc. etc. Well,..... what if there is something out there that's beyond our imagination?

I mean, everything we've ever imagined comes from something we've seen in real life. Dragons are nothing but dinosaurs. We give them scales like we see on fish, we give them horns like we see on cows and deer, we give them wings like we see on bats. All these imaginary creatures are just compositions of hundreds of different animals located right on this planet. They might seem "imaginary" to us, but in reality they are not that fantastical at all. We do the same to aliens. We draw what we've seen right here on earth,... like birth defects.

Anyway,.... so here is this guy who's local universe/galaxy is shaped like a box. Everything in that universe looks like a box. The box is a metaphor for our universe/galaxy that WE know, we are, we've seen, we've experienced. The box guy has never seen anything that wasn't a box or shaped like one. He has absolutely no concept of a wavy line, because he has never seen one in his life.
Here he finds a doorway out of his box-shaped galaxy/universe, opens the door, steps outside and is completely surprised by what he sees outside the box he calls home. It's mind-blowing to him, just like it would be mind-blowing to us if we suddenly experienced a world that was absolutely NOTHING like the one we know, where our physics do not apply, where things are not made out of molecules,.... well.... you get the picture. :) It would just be unimaginably different.

So I guess what I'm trying to say or ask is; Is it possible for us to imagine something that has absolutely no basis in our world? Can we think about a world completely unlike ours without having to physically see it first?
