After “Syllabic” I kept thinking about different perspectives. How the “same story” can be told by different people and vary slightly or a lot. I wanted to conceptualize this. I came across a zen saying 「銀椀盛雪、明月蔵鷺」 (ぎんわんにゆきをもり めいげつにろをかくす), “Silver bowl full of snow, white heron in clear moonlight.” It’s about the juxtaposition of things that look the same and seem to blend in but that are actually different. The snow may look like a part of the silver bowl and the bowl may look like snow. The white heron in bright moonlight may look like the moonlight itself, or is it the other way around? I learned that this saying also implicates the philosophy of the natural vs. the manmade coming together, different groups of people coming together in harmony.
