Any word has a definition, but, in essence, its notion—whatever it may be—is abstract. The way we understand is through association. If we look at an image that our mind cannot associate with anything, we return to the essence and call it abstract. This abstract becomes the misunderstood, the unknown, the category in which we place the things that fall outside the realm of the mind. The abstract offers us a choice: either to flee, or to let our curiosity be stirred.
