Telling Stories
An image can distill an experience that is ineffable into something we can all easily grasp.
A ring in a box, a flower on a stone, vivid imagery that Richard Dawkins might have considered memetic. Some of these images are meant to tell a story, and others beg for you to create the back story for the image. Perhaps you just love an image (In which case, inquire for a print price).
Let the imagery tell a story. Let your imagination fill in the blanks.
