probability, and eventually a beautiful possibility. This enriches its core meaning. in the shallow uncertainty of the present, as we wade towards a future that will unfold to all our senses, in another present.

Opposite to what we are getting used to- data from all points, available at our fingertips, on our wrists and beamed into our eyes. Reinforcing our biases, giving in to our mind’s needs and quenching our curiosity. Scroll, tap, scroll, tap, confirm from the outer to placate the inner, while Faith gently envelopes us from the inner to outer. Requiring prostrating our belief and repeating our trust without knowing the ifs and whens. Will our relationship flourish? Will my college application be successful? Will I get this job? Will my team win this match? Will this diet help? Will my health improve?

Will we survive?

Will I get this job? Will my team win this match? Will this diet help? Will my health improve?

The imperfect beings that we are, we must embrace it with our strength and continue climbing. Often sourcing this strength from a gut feeling. Faith will always remain inconspicous and seemingly unattainable in uncertain situations. Yet, banking on that ever mysterious and intuitive friend, we can begin to form an image of it. Blurred and far at first but in our sights nonetheless. Our vision will be clouded by copious amounts of data, even drowning us without our awareness of it. Faith will test us in specific moments- planned or not. Showing scarcely and demanding deeply. An unfair deal at first. Holding onto what Faith demands from us to give, to receive back, will get harder as we progress up the lengthy stairwell of data abundance. Only to arrive at a chasm of our own choice. Here, we stay still, slow down our breath, and prepare internally. We hesitatingly lift one of our feet up and begin the lowering. Surprisingly, the other foot lifts, eyes open, our vision improves, our breathing becomes unrestrained and we float to the grail.

As a result, the Second Vienna School gained a reputation for unrestrained and irresponsible formalism, and was furthermore colored by Sedlmayr's overt racism and membership in the Nazi party. This latter tendency was, however, by no means shared by all members of the school; Pächt, for example, was himself Jewish, and was forced to leave Vienna in the 1930s. Panofsky and iconography Edit Photographer unknown, Aby Warburg c. 1900 Our 21st-century understanding of the symbolic content of art comes from a group of scholars who gathered in Hamburg in the 1920s. The most prominent among them were Erwin Panofsky, Aby Warburg, Fritz Saxl and Gertrud Bing. Together they developed much of the vocabulary that continues to be used in the 21st century by art historians. "Iconography"—with roots meaning "symbol...

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. Flowers produce gametophytes, which in flowering plants consist of a few haploid cells which produce gametes. Flower gardens are a key factor in modern landscape design and even architecture. This is especially true for large businesses, some of which pay to have large flower gardens torn out and replaced entirely each season, in order to keep the color patterns consistent. The labour time can be decreased by using techniques such as mulching. In flower meadows, grass growth can be moderated by planting parasitic plants such as Rhinanthus.[1][2][3] Cutting garden See also: Cut flowers A functional garden used to grow flowers for indoor use rather than outdoor display is known as a cutting garden. It is usually only a feature of large residences.[4] The cutting garden is typically placed in a fertile and sunlight position out of public view and is not artistically arranged, as it co...
