Pause 3: The Eye Must Travel
A journey through the transformative power of cultural exploration and artistic discovery
The Vreeland Vision
Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, famously declared, "The eye has to travel." For her, travel was an essential source of inspiration, infusing her work with the richness of diverse cultures, histories, and artistic expressions. This philosophy not only shaped her editorial vision but also underscored the transformative power of experiencing the world beyond our familiar surroundings.
Personal Pilgrimages
In my own journey, travel serves as a wellspring of creativity and rejuvenation. Immersing myself in different cultures offers fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of the myriad ways people interpret the world. The resonance of history in ancient streets and the silent narratives of time-honored architecture ignite my imagination. I am particularly drawn to historical structures, especially churches and cathedrals. Beyond their religious significance, these edifices stand as monumental testaments to human ingenuity and artistic expression. The grandeur of cathedrals, constructed in eras devoid of modern technology, leaves me in awe of the craftsmanship and collective effort they embody.
That was a great documentary!
