<strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2023</strong> <strong>Visual</strong> Culture: REPRESENT!: <strong>Misapprehended</strong><br />

LINDA LENTZ<br />

Different Perspectives, <strong>2023</strong><br />

Graphite and Pen Drawing, 24” x 18”<br />

“Different Perspectives” and “Close Minded” are connected<br />

to each other as they discuss the effects of not seeing common<br />

ground for those with different beliefs. The former is the<br />

metaphorical symbolism of two houses with two pathways that<br />

don’t connect with each other. Two structures with windows that<br />

show inside perspectives that might conflict with each other<br />

when there is no common ground. This is revealed in “Close<br />

Minded” which is an inside look into these houses that are<br />

filled with angry creatures that are enclosed in a bubble. This<br />

represents how people are uncomfortable and even volatile<br />

when confronted by an opinion that challenges their views on<br />

how they see the world. This makes them unwilling to leave their<br />

“bubble” and comfort of being used to their own beliefs when<br />

given the decision to become more open minded.<br />
