Macro:

Mental health, it takes time to see things differently.

Micro:

Use perspective to show how people experience and perceive their world in an ever-evolving way.

Story

Definition: Perspective

1. The art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.
2. A particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view

We are using the relationship between these two definitions as a basis for our narrative.

When we talk about perspective in the context of the first definition we are talking about perspective in a literal form. There are many ways as to which we can represent three dimensional objects on two dimensional surfaces. For instance, one-point perspective involves how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon. Two-point perspective involves linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width and depth of an object are represented as meeting at two separate points on the horizon. Three-point perspective is also a linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width of an object meet at two separate points on the horizon and vertical lines on the object meet at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the horizon line. We can continue to go on and on adding more perspective points.

The actuality of what these definitions mean is of no relevance to us, but say we are to take an object and represent that object in the three described ways. As we continue to add more perspective points we begin to see the object differently.

What happens when we then take this concept and apply it to the second definition of perspective?
