GLOVES

a narrow point of view or just a *wrong* belief
how do we decide what’s real?

a glove found in the street - the body isn’t there yet the eye can see a hand
how do we give meaning to what we see - to what we *live*?
how’s reality in denial?

glove - hand - body - human - reality
synecdoche - a word or phrase in which a part of something is used to refer to the whole of it

questioning the *truth* - the part and the whole - the whole by its parts 

the body is not there 
but is life there? in the thought of life?
in the thought of a body?
do thoughts have vision?

[*human presence* on earth]

walking in Sussex

there’s nothing special in walking, nothing sensational.
walking is a non-sensational act.
the things you find on the streets while walking are equally non-sensational.
they have no time, no pretensions, they’re the kind of things you can afford to lose.
you can easily lose the container, but what if you lose the *content*?
your body is still there, you are still there, you walk those street where these *parts* were lost.
the part speaks to us of a different thing. 
and sometimes the only thing you want to see is a sign.

the use of a single element and its repetition - the individual within a wider spectrum. how to put into perspective the meaning given to a single person or to a single event, the part for the whole.
