When reading Semiotics and Art History, I became very interested when I read the following sentence. “Since readers and viewers bring to the images their own cultural baggage, there can be no such thing as a fixed, predetermined, or unified meaning” (Bal and Bryson 207). I completely agree with this statement because I believe that with so many ethnicities, backgrounds, experiences, and opinions, no one description can ever be used to describe one thing. I believe that the fact that we are all so different and perceive things differently is what makes the art that much more beautiful. Bal and Bryson also state that, “An image does not represent a single subject-position, but rather an organized plurality of them” (202). Therefore, an image can have numerous meanings either on the part of the artists or on the viewer. Everyone sees and creates in a different manner as a direct result of the person he or she is.
How
you perceive the image above is result of who you are as an individual.
