Summary
The philosophical exploration of visual art, including photography, may be the relationship between image, language, and emotional experience. There is a referential relationship between language and image, so what is the relationship between emotional experience and image? Perhaps it is the so-called "symbolic" relationship. The indescribable emotional experience overflows the language and the image, and it is a kind of psychological power that distorts the established relationship between the image and the language. Carl Jung used "psychological" and "visionary" to distinguish writers of different psychological types, and I think this applies equally to artists. "Psychological" artists use language to "separate" or reverse the established "customs" between images and language, while "visionary" artists use a more emotional approach to destroy the solidified old "symbols", and build a new "archetype".
