So close to its subject as to almost abstract, an effect heightened by the bokeh.
It's fascinating that the world changes so much when the ratio of the senses is altered.

"...the world changes so much when the ratio of the senses is altered"-I think you hit the essence of photography.
For many photographers this is a clear fact, but, believe it or not, many people still don't understand this.

The image is still taken for granted, I suppose.

There is a important difference between true (veracity) and literal realism. Many people can't understand it.
Problem today is this: if true is relative (even the camera lies) in what can we believe. That is why many reject the abstraction and keep material safety as certainty.
It is the lack of religiosity that afflicts mankind since the beginnings of bourgeois society.

Perhaps it's possible to recognise belief as provisional, the best that can be done at the moment, but not the last word.
That way revision is possible when circumstances change?

Not necessarily, I hope.
