Can you lean on a distorted, twisted red brick wall?

It’s just another red brick wall: very common and quite ordinary. There’s nothing special about it, not the bricks and not the masonry, except perhaps for the notable fact that the brick red wall image is distorted. Not only has the colors been saturated into deep shades of red, with dramatic touches of black edges, but it has been significantly digitally twisted. Walls are supposed to be flat. Even when photographed at an angle, we know that walls are straight. And the more straight, the better. But if walls are twisted and convoluted, it then becomes something else. If a straight wall means that we have something reliable to lean on, or to separate what is inside from what is on the outside, what does a twisted wall connote? What does it tell you about not just the wall itself, but the meaning that it can lean on, or for that matter, not lean on? A wall is any other object, familiar and forgettable. But when we come upon a wall that is twisted, we stop and perhaps marvel at how could it be and for what purpose does it serve. How often, in real life and even in pictures, do we really encounter a uniquely shaped, even if digitally altered, red brick wall? It is strange, and yet, familiar. And therefore, we cannot help but be curious. Such curiosity can lead to investigation so we will understand. We cannot stand not knowing what things mean. We no longer just accept things for the way they are, because, in a sense, nothing is really what they seem to be. This very same curiosity can therefore be transliterated into a specific, symbolic meaning that you may find to be the ideal message you want to covey. A stock photo image of a distorted, twisted wall may just be the kind of image that you need to convey the point straight away! Check out how it fits into the overall scheme of things and decide for yourself if a twisted, distorted red brick wall will carry your message. [Note: This image is available for licensing.
