#Depth

Depth is the imaginary realm conjured by those who disdain the safety of flatness, compelled to boast about unseen reliefs. When people speak of depth, they conceal the shallowness of their own understanding, indulging in the magic word "dimensionality". Art critics applaud the slightest convergence of perspective, and social media filters lavish extra layers. Even facts are masked in strata, for only a multi-layered facade earns the title of "profound".

The vanishing point is the mythical spot where parallel lines in perspective supposedly meet at infinity. Worshipped by painters, architects, and self-styled influencers alike for its drama and mystique. Yet no one has ever truly reached it, despite all their skill. It’s the magic device that gives depth to a flat world, while simultaneously mocking those who chase it. Novices find comfort in its name and lose confidence the moment they try to draw it—an ironic paradox of art.
