Iconicity is a relationship between a sign and its object in which the form of the sign recapitulates the object in some way. Example: To most people in the modern world, a photo is a clear sign of the object it represents; but in some indigenous cultures, if you were to show them a picture of themselves- they wouldn’t recognize it as anything other than a rectangular piece of paper with some color on one side. Crazh, eh?!
Here are a few photos of things that are near and dear to my heart. Check out other photos on my flickr page!
