When life gets hard, your perspective can make all the difference.
Perspective is the theme of an art piece called “Sunset Over Manhattan.” When it was presented in galleries, the piece was located in a dark room. When viewers entered, a light from above came on and illuminated an old table against the far wall. Scattered across the table were old bottles, scraps of newspaper, and soda cans shot through with BB guns.
At first, viewers stood there, wondering why the artist believed a table filled with garbage would communicate something meaningful.
