Most paintings pretend to show you the world.
The version with all the colour turned up. The version everyone agreed on.
This isn't that.
This is what I actually see.
Not what I'm supposed to see. Not what the colour wheel says is there.
Just what arrives in my eyes.
What you're seeing right now isn't the world either.
It's a popular version of it. You didn't pick it. You inherited it.
The difference is, I made mine.
