Chiaroscuro
As artists, we have the most peculiar way of thinking. We observe in the most unique manner on a third person perspective. Little do they know that we see the world differently and our art is our pathetic attempt to illustrate the world as we see it.
"Pathetic", for the lack of better terms, as I would call it; because any thing perceived by our senses is heightened and the effort to conceive it through our hands is just a mere translation of the beauty and euphoria of the experience nature has us wrapped in.
This photo for example:
...a representation of the beguiling vision that was witnessed as the darker stage of twilight sets in. However, how much it may seem beautiful, it can never replace the real thing. The audience can never feel what was felt in that moment and how the scent of nature enveloped your being as you breathe in that second.

"I'll tell you a secret, one that they don't teach you in temples. The Gods envied us because we are mortals, because every moment might be our last; everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now and we will never be here again."
