Day 12’s challenge was to use visual metaphors to depict the following terms, without using words, letters, or faces:
Hope
Anguish
Curiosity
Mystery
As per Wikipedia, a visual metaphor is a pictorial analogy. It illustrates a comparison between what is in the visual with the meaning of another thing that it is representing figuratively.
Here’s what I came up with for these terms.
I hope you can guess which is which! Otherwise, it would seem I have failed miserably in depicting these terms adequately.
Let me know what you think in the comments. How would you have depicted these terms?
I have been reading voraciously since the age of five when I first discovered the joys of reading. I would lap up anything in print. Unrolling an emptied newspaper cone with one hand, stuffing roasted peanuts in my mouth with the other, all the while devouring the printed content on the cone with my eyes, was one of my first experiences in hedonistic pleasure.
In fact, sometimes I feel that I am on an adventurous journey through the secret dreamworld of other people's imaginations, interspersed with occasional visits to my own life to attend events like graduation, first job, marriage, and so on.
As a true-blue reader, I think I am uniquely qualified to comment on and critique other people's works of labour. I can tell exactly what puts the average reader to sleep, what sets their pulse racing, and what has them salivating for more.
