I missed the point being made here, Toyin or am I not reading right?

Dear Oga Afolayan,

Great thanks.

There is no point being made except the invitation to enjoy the glorious architecture of nature represented by a particular kind of human form, and I am grateful that the moderators of such a scholarly group as this approved the post.

If I had posted an image of a spectacular natural formation or a feat of intricate engineering, would that elicit any need for clarification even here?

Does the human form, in its aesthetic and functional power, the greatest achievement known to humanity, and particularly the feminine form, not often need to be justified in being presented outside particular specialized contexts?

If so, why?

I have reflected on this subject of explaining the human form rather than simply enjoy it outside particular contexts in a post on the same picture which I just sent for consideration for posting on the group.

The post also responds to the context in which the robust beauty in the picture was encountered in terms of the dialectic between natural and human creativity.

These reflections are carried out through word and image in a short essay, the poetic minimalism of Twitter and the visual and musical dynamism of a YouTube video.

thanks

toyin
