HUMANS HAVE REPRESENTED “THINGS” IN VARIOUS WAYS; THROUGH THE “THINGS” IN THEIR CONTEXT, WHICH HAS EVOLVED THROUGH TIME ALONG WITH OUR PERCEPTIONS. COULD THIS STONE BE A METAPHOR TO HOW HUMANS ABSORB THEIR SURROUNDINGS, AND INCREASE OUR INNER POROSITY TO APPRECIATION OF THE UNDERAPPRECIATED? “THINGS” EXIST IN MANY
WAYS, IN PROXIMITY TO ONE ANOTHER FROM THE SAME WORLD IRRELEVANT OF THE DISTANCE DENOTING NEAR OR FAR. THE VOID IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT TO HUMANS, IN THE SENSE THAT IT CREATES THE FUNCTION OF AN OBJECT, AND SPACE. THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE STONE, WHERE THE “EMPTINESS, THE VOID, IS WHAT DOES THE VESSEL‘S HOLDING” (HEIDEGGER, 1971;69). THIS ROCKS REPRESENTATION IS THUS UNDERSTOOD BY ITS EMPTINESS - WHERE WE CREATE THE VOID AND NOT THE OBJECT.
