'Mystery Revealed'

crta.png

In my last post of this series, I've left you with a little puzzle. I published several parts of a grand street art piece which I've found really interesting. As you remember, there were motifs of books, bystanders, little men etc. Please check the last post in this series for the details. For the ones who know what I'm talking about, here comes the resolution.

The painting on the wall was definitely inspired by Swift's Gulliver Travels as @broncofan99 so nicely figured out even though I've tried hard to hide it. Well done! Check out the photorealism on that face.

The little men came from a book and tied up the author (I presume) in his sleep.

Is this a critique of today's low-quality reading, a tendency of not-reading as we used to or an overall feeling that we are tied up in our concepts, the ones we learn from somewhere and do not question anymore?

As in most of the cases, I'll let each one of you answer that for yourselves. I never like school readings where we all had to believe someone's else explanations of what we've read. Have fun discovering everything at your own pace.

Enjoy your day! :-)

Being a nerd is good. Habit of reading books will increase knowledge and increase our thinking ability. Not only nonfiction books that can educate you, but fiction books also have the same benefits as non-fiction books. But there is a tendency to be paid a bookworm, namely: Cause the eye minus (miopi), or even eye plus (hipermetropi). Miopia and hipermetropy are eye damage caused by a lack of elasticity of the silaris muscle in the eye. This silaris muscle is the focus of the eye.

When we do book reading activities, our muscles may be required to remain in static condition.

Because it is in a static condition that is too long, then the silaris muscle becomes inflexible again. In the end, the sufferers of myopia and hipermetropi can not see maximally the object that is too close or too far away. Not only that, a nerd also usually has a problem in posture. Because it's too cool to read a book, sometimes a nerd sitting with an imperfect position or may forget to use a worsening posture.

Not only the posture, fitness and endurance of a nerd also continues to deteriorate over time. Then, because it's too cool to read a book, usually a nerd forgot to socialize. This causes a bookworm does not have many friends despite his wide insight. Lastly. Reading books can indeed cause dementia, but knowing many books of a different kind at a time will actually cause a person to lose memory because of the 'overlapping' configuration of information in the brain.

It's really cool graffiti. A good job that deserves respect. I have no idea who this person is associated with little people, but judging by your assumption this is the author. We can assume that here it is implied that the author was captured by his work (or correctly to tell the characters of his work or story).

I never like school readings where we all had to believe someone's else explanations of what we've read.

This is the correct position. School programs often suppress individualism in people. When we get a certain opinion and are forced to believe that it is true, we lose interest in reasoning. Training begins with the fact that a person has an interest to get to the truth by their own strength and reasoning. A school program is designed to "memorize" the imposed truth. It's good or bad, it's not for me to decide, but in my opinion it makes people lazy and waiting for someone to tell where the truth is.
So put everything under doubt and think with your head. This is the best way to develop.
Thank you

I'm thinking maybe the artist/author is feeling constrained, tied to convention or censorship or what ever.

I really like the photo realism on the subject and not so much on the other characters. They look like they came out of a book. What's up with that?

It's a terrific piece, all the more so because it is street art. Nice find, nicely presented. Thank you.

The quality of this artwork is amazing! I can only imagine the time that went into the creation of this piece. I like your idea about being tied up in concepts that we don’t even question. It resonates with me because of things I try to teach my students and my own kids in terms of thinking critically. The man sleeping through this experience can be a metaphor for his complacency to what is going on around him and his obliviousness to what is happening to them. This is happening everyday to people as they don’t even realize it.

JAJAJAJAJA.

Bueno @velimir , ciertamente a más de un autor deberiamos atar.
Pienso que cuando leemos explicaciones absurdas de un fulano autor; lo mejor que podemos hacer es ser más creyentes de nuestras convicciones y hacerle una cruz al fulano.

Amazing painting, Amazing photography.
By the way, this post has reminded me my past school days. I am remembering a little bit about the same picture I have seen in my school academic books. There was a man came from another universe to the universe of thumbs men. All the men were just like the thumbs height and the one came from another universe was just like ours. So in the last, all the thumb men fastend him just like shown in this painting. They were also bringing ladders to fastend the ropes with the ears and nose.

will try my best to post that story

Thank you for reminding me my golden school days
