It's not what you see, it's what you don't (could) see




Like most people, I also have certain sayings. One of them is that 'it's not what you see, it's what you don't see (or what you could see)'.
A friend of mine has told me that this somehow reminds her of Jean Piaget, a psychologist who developed a theory of cognitive development called genetic epistemology. I am not quite sure of why though.
In any case, I do enjoy how certain people see something where most of the people see nothing. OakOak is one of these people who see something or otherwise a 'french artist who likes to play with urban elements' (that is how he/she describes himself/herself).
Pretty cool work! More stuff here

  1. Corrections:
    1) genetical epistemology is a scientific field not a theory.
    2) Jean Piaget was not a psychologist although his work substantially influenced developmental psychology. He was a biologist who studied children's thinking and explored the origins of human intelligence.
