Yesterday, when I was at the Ludwig modern art museum in Cologne, Germany, I saw this:
… and I thought, “‘Making the Unseen Visible’ would be a good title for tomorrow’s blog post.”
Before yesterday, Germany had been unseen by me and had taken up visible space in my head as an unsafe place for Jewish people, like me. But yesterday, making the unseen Germany visible helped replace some of my old fears and assumptions with visible humanity and shared experience.
Actually, as I’m creating this blog post, the images are loading but are not visible to me, which is a first in my 10 years of daily blogging. Let’s see if I’ll be making the unseen visible with my other images for today.
Thanks to all who are making the unseen visible by expressing their thoughts and feelings, including you!
you are seeing so much with your eyes, which helps you to see with your heart
It takes one to know one, my friend.
What a rich experience you’re sharing, Ann.
Thank you for this visibly supportive comment, Mark.
I love the thought of the thousands of relationships symbolized by the thousands of locks that were fixed with, I would assume, high hopes. There is an invisible, untold story locked within each one of them.
(also loved the full moon jacket, and now I want one) 🙂
I appreciate everything you make visible, Barbara.
Expressionism is one of my favorite art movements but it’s really difficult for me to pick a favorite. Emil Nolde, Otto Dix, Egon Schiele, and Kathe Kollwitz are all Expressionists and yet they’re completely different. I like how you bring your own individual expressions here too.
Thanks for supporting my expressiveness, Chris.
You share so much from your heart that you always offer something for us that brings the unseen visible. Each and every time, Ann.
Thanks for making another heartfelt comment visible, my good friend.
Thanks for showing me the Cologne Cathedral inside and out! Great images!
Thanks for making this comment visible, Maria!
