Pathetic Fallacy

​

What if the world is not just a backdrop, but a co-player?

 

In this series I explore the silent exchange between the inner and outer worlds — how a wet sidewalk can carry melancholy, how a tree seems to bend under the weight of a thought, how light amplifies or softens a feeling.

 

The term pathetic fallacy refers to the human tendency to attribute feelings to nature. But what if this is not a mistake, but an intuitive reminder of connectedness? What if the world around us is not silent, but moves along with us? Responds? Testifies?

 

These paintings are not illustrations of reality, but resonances of it. They show how the landscape sometimes speaks in our language — or how we speak in the language of the landscape. They reveal how subjective perception is not always distortion, but perhaps a form of deep attunement.

 

Pathetic Fallacy is therefore not a misconception, but an invitation. To look again. To feel. To recognize that everything is alive, everything is touched, and everything is related to who we are.
