Feingold Gallery: Eye in Eye Strengths

Feingold Gallery:
Eye in Eye Strengths

 

 

The design of this gallery is aimed at encouraging conversation involving both immediate and reflective thought, individual and collective. Rather than starting by reading comments of others, please first put your own immediate thoughts in the on-line forum below. This way, we'll all be able to see how much similarity and difference there is in our initial reactions and interpretations of the images. Then go back to see what others have said about this image and add whatever new thoughts you have as a result of that. More general thoughts about the collection of images and/or this exhibit as a whole are welcome in the on-line forum on the exhibit home page.

Yep, what one does less well can be the source as well of what one does better. A new eye, through which to see the world ... and by seen by it. Encouraging direction for further thought.

This image raises the concept of self-image to me. Is who we see ourselves on the inside/in our eyes to be who we "really" are? How is the perception of self influenced, or distorted, by our environment, our culture, our experiences, our own self? Who gets to define disabilities and strengths?

When we open ourselves up, share the "bad" with the world, we are more able to share the good too. Suddenly, we can be whole, and truly allow others to see the full, robust people we are.

The dawning of a new perspective of self and the world, and an acceptance of one's strengths and weaknesses. The road to a unified self.

One and the same?

Part of recognizing and admitting one's disabilities is that it simultaneously helps one recognize and share one's strengths. Perhaps they can also be one and the same.

When any part of yourself is

Submitted by akerle on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 10:40am.
When any part of yourself is hidden or unacknowledged the whole self is limited in every way. Self acceptance means not only acknowledging the less desirable parts but also allowing every aspect of the self to realise its full potential.
