Description Sometimes people believe that loneliness is equivalent to sadness. Maybe this belief is somehow tied to the naturally gregarious nature of the animals within us.

But that's not always the case.

Sometimes, loneliness can be just an escape from the endless stream of meaningless verbosity that permeates us. Sometimes, loneliness lets the inner colors of our minds to really shine through. We are all full of colors inside...

Which is kind of interesting because... colors don't really exist except in our mind. They're just our brain's interpretation of a specific electromagnetic frequency.


This image is two things at once... For one, it's a very surreal, idealized/stylized version of this image, "my beach in a moon crater", that I made a long time ago.



Second, it's another image in my series "the books" (see the others below).



As always, this was rendered in Vue.

We don't have skittles around here, had to google that up. I know what you mean now.

You said it all this time, also nice image

But the funny fact is that I saw the opposite meaning in the image, sadness.

I saw it like someone who closes himself to his safe place, not allowing anything come in because of his insecurity. He just stick himself in what he knows he's good at or to the thing he has been doing for a long time.

Thanks. Yes, this one time I did.
It's perfectly fine that you find another interpretation to mine and I must say I find yours fascinating. That's the beauty of images: it leaves room for the viewer to fit the image to his own life experience. I don't usually verbalize my thoughts to minimize the risk to influence the viewer, let him find his own truth. There isn't one truth to each image, there are as many truths as there are viewers (at least...).

I'm always torn between that. I love having time to be completely alone, yet I also love socializing with friends.

Thanks for sharing. I guess we all have to find some kind of balance in our life, that one is your challenge.

Very, veryΒ different from the beach in the moon crater.
Tastes differ; I would prefer the crater with its water and the beach with the boy on it, and the "technological" dome over the crater - to "fantasy" dome over the tree and the boy.

Thanks for the comment. This is not supposed to be another version of the image. As I said it's an idealized version. One is a technological version, the other is like an idealized dream.
