How art and philosophy overlap touches on deeper truths that delve into both reality and unseen realities. These talks below are both visually and philosophically rich. The poetic insights of John Paul Caponigro’s images and his words which express interpretation of photographic images along with nature, reflections, the visible vs the invisible, all lead for us to ask ourselves what is really real? What are Nature’s truths? What are its mysteries and how do we use images to understand, to appreciate, to see beauty, to react to color, and to interpret it? Awe of Nature in idealism is oneness, or as close as we can get to oneness, at least that’s my opinion.
