I (the text) am tasked with describing you (the image). I must translate your meaning and message from colors and shapes to letters and words. Simple enough. You aren't that difficult, you see. A person standing in the road, dressed in a soft blue coat and warm hat, with one hand extended in the air to catch a snowflake. Where? Maybe a farm; there are two fences and deep red colored buildings in the distance. There. An image of a moment in time. Simple.
More? Alright then. Maybe you have another meaning. Perhaps you emphasize enjoying the small things in life. Stopping to indulge in childlike wonder for even the simplest things- like snow. Appreciating nature.
Again? Oh, I see now. The hand reaching to catch a single flake represents the futility of some of our efforts. For, even if one lands in your hand it will surely melt in mere moments. No matter how much we try, some things simply cannot be achieved. Perhaps you say something about perseverance- tenacity in human nature. Even when we know our efforts will be for naught we cannot help but try again and again. We keep reaching for the snowflakes only to have them disappear.
What now? Do you want me to describe the street? There’s nothing there- wait. Maybe that’s just the thing- solitude. The lone figure stands in the middle of the road and takes a moment of solitude. Is that the theme you were hoping to convey? The figure’s face is not visible, but their posture suggests contentment and relaxation. The soft lighting and light colors support this mood. Maybe you seek to encourage taking moments to oneself. Maybe…
I give up. Clearly, the only thing that is certain is that there is no one certain way to interpret you. Good day.
