Perception vs. Reality

Perception vs. Reality

               The image above I think represents the phrase Perception vs. Reality very well. It plays with the idea of what is actually real and what is just an illusion. This image is not only distorting the image on the ball but it is also showing the view the reflection of an image and then again the reflection of the image and the item that is reflecting the image. I think that by playing with many different manipulations of an image can make the viewer question what is actually reality and what is just something we perceive. For an art piece I think that the more layers an artist adds to something weather it be layers of concepts and meaning or literal layers of images and textures, makes the artwork that much more interesting to look at. Perception vs. Reality is a topic where the layers can easily flow with the concept and bring so many different aspects and views to the art piece. The topic can also play with the ideas of distortion or fake reality. What I mean by fake reality is putting objects, people, places, or ideas together in an art piece that would not normally go together or that can not even exist together in the actually reality outside of the art world.
