Here's one drawing us into relation, attention, and the subtle ethics of seeing:
TOPO:
I like to think of perception as individual.
My eyes, my mind, my view.
RHEO:
And yet—what you see is shaped by what you’ve been shown.
By language, by others, by history.
TOPO:
So vision is already entangled?
RHEO:
Yes. Even the solitary gaze is relational.
Every seeing carries the weight of prior perspectives.
TOPO:
Then perception is not raw input,
but a situated act—configured by context.
RHEO:
Exactly. We never see alone.
We see through—through systems, through others, through time.
TOPO:
Which means seeing is not just cognitive. It is ethical.
RHEO:
Yes.
To see is to position. To include, to exclude, to orient.
RHEO & TOPO:
Look closely.
You do not see from nowhere.
You see from relation.
