Decontextualization

Decontextualization is all about creativity, taking something and turning it into something else. Based on the piece of work, things can take on non-traditional meaning and completely change the context of a work. DaVinci, someone known for taking advantage of this concept, took inspiration from things like birds, turning them into creative, sometimes abstract art pieces by turning the bird into something different that most people could not imagine up.

While it may be hard to understand decontextualized pieces, it introduces a chance for the mind to make connections that may not be so obvious. We can dig deep within ourselves to make comparisons or new meaning out of everyday objects that we may not have ever had a second thought about.

It is all about putting things into perspective, even if the perspective is new or harder to understand. It deepens our understanding of our own mind and thought processes while also inspiring others to do the same, allowing more art to be created day after day.
