Observation
One of my favorite books is "The Things They Carried" mentions this quote "they carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried." The essence of the book (read it if you haven't!) is recognizing the importance of our world, the symbols around us, our love and that the things we carry are part of who we are. The image and every figure within in here bears their own burden, their own story. It's both seen and unseen.
