The MET Part 1 : The Face of Humanity
The human face is the center of all mental attention. Programmed to see faces everywhere we look, it is the first thing we perceive, indeed the first thing we instinctively look for, as newly born beings. If things go well, it is also the last thing we see before we expire. With our powerful imaginations, it only makes sense that we would give a human face to the elements, the animals and plants, the day and the night, the heavens, and the earth itself. We combine our inherent diversity with our insatiable imaginations, to produce faces of infinite potential, and ubiquitous meaning.
