Reflections on German Romanticism
Memory of a Forest, rooted in German Romanticism art of the early 1800s
🟥 Individual dwarfed by awesomeness of nature/world
⬜️ Counter to rapid industrialization of modern world
⬛️ Use of symbolism, even within landscapes, to describe ideas, emotion, philosophy
Wanderer above the Sea of Fog | Caspar David Friedrich | 1818
Edge of an Era
🟥 Sitting here in 2023, it feels as if we are staring into an unknown future of AI
⬜️ Similar to how Germans would have felt in the early stages of their industrialization in early 1800s
⬛️ The very nature of life is changing, for both of us: new jobs, new realities, new rules
Sometimes here on twitter/blockchain ... it feels like we're trekking though a giant forest
Root systems intertwined, danger, enlightenment, awe, action, calm, beauty
And if an outsider enters, it's hard to know which way is north
What's this meta, or that mean ... there's a memory here ... one needs to stay in the forest to learn
And while there's dark, there is light and people enter to go to both spectrums
I hope this explanation of how Memory of a Forest was conceived, can help you reflect on how you view yourself in this magnificent place we call home
