i have a special kink for projective tests.

i’m imagining a desert with blue sky in the horizon. within my perspective are five items that i need to describe: a cube, a ladder, a storm, a horse, and a flower.

the cube

the cube is located about 50 feet from my perspective in the left-hand portion of my vision. the cube is clear — about 20 feet x 20 feet x 20 feet, made of unbreakable glass (but not acrylic). the cube is enclosed at the top. it is held together at the edges, which are fused. come to think of it, maybe it’s a huge diamond hollowed out in a perfect cube, no occlusions. inside the cube is my studio — made up of creme and blush hues, and comforting textures. smells include woody jasmine vanilla musk. there are breathing holes towards the top edges of the cube.

the ladder

the ladder is made of strong raw oak wood and is about 21 feet tall, leaning against the cube.

the storm

the storm is in the far right side of my perspective. it is far away, but it is a gentle warm rain. when it arrives, i do not fear it. i don’t have to protect other objects in my perspective. nothing to call FEMA about.

the horse

a big black stallion on the side of the path leading to the cube. the stallion is healthy, shiny, and contently grazing.

the flower

an infinite number of white paper flowers line both sides of the path from my perspective to the cube. i opted for paper flowers because they don’t die, they don’t have to be replaced. they’re handcrafted with intention.

that’s the way i see my world.
