Tato\u00ebermerke fassineer my. Ek maak graag geselsies met mense wat di\u00e9 \u2018kunswerke\u2019 op hulle het. <\/p>\n
Hier en daar kom ek iemand te\u00eb wat s\u00ea dis sommer \u2019n versiering, maar meeste heg \u2019n diep betekenis aan die simbole of afbeelding op hulle lywe. <\/p>\n
Ons weervoorspeller in die Baai, Garth Sampson, het onder andere \u2019n afbeelding van sy oorlede kind op sy rug. \u2019n Filmmaker wys my nou die dag sy ouma se verjaardagdatum in Romeinse syfers op die een arm, en sy vrou se naam in sierletters op die ander arm. \u2019n Vrou verduidelik my anderdag dat die komma-punt leesteken op haar hand, meegevoel betoon met mense wat aan geestestoestande ly of selfmoord gepleeg het. <\/p>\n
Van die bekendste afbeeldings is dikwels \u2019n kopbeen, \u2019n slang, arend of sfinks. Vir elkeen het dit \u2019n ander betekenis. Vir party het dit \u2019n positiewe betekenis van iets wat oorwin is, en vir ander het dit \u2019n okkulte verbintenis.<\/p>\n
Dit is tog \u2019n manier van kommunikasie en om uitdrukking te gee aan wat vir jou van groot betekenis is. Mens kan aflei dat \u2019n simbool wat vir een persoon groot betekenis het, vir \u2019n ander van geen waarde is nie. <\/p>\n
As skoolkind kon ek nooit verstaan hoekom \u2019n mens nou die sogenaamde vredesteken en kopbene op jou tas sou uitgraveer nie. Maar vir ander was dit belangrik om \u2018te behoort\u2019 aan die groep wat dit doen.<\/p>\n
Dink maar die afgelope Valentynsdag. Mense dra dan graag rooi, en ons weet dat rooi harte die simbool van liefde is. Ons wil deel wees van die gees van die dag. So ook met Kerstyd: ons sit \u2019n Kersboom met versierings op en gee geskenke. <\/p>\n
Talle mense heg baie waarde aan hulle sterreteken. Ander wil hulle geloof uitbeeld deur \u2019n kruis om die nek te dra of by die huis aan te bring. Ek onthou hoe \u2019n Sondagskool onderwyser nog verduidelik het dat sy trouring die simbool van ewige liefde vir sy vrou is. <\/p>\n
Kunstenaars gebruik simbole in hulle werke. Ons weet dat \u2019n wit roos reinheid simboliseer en \u2019n rooie liefde of romanse. <\/p>\n
Veldtogte wat een of ander siekte,<\/span> toestand of gebeurtenis herdenk, word met gekleurde strikkies gesimboliseer. \u2019n Rooi strikkie dui op die ondersteuning van die veldtog teen HIV, \u2019n pienk een borskanker (en die pienk materiaal wat om bome gedraai word), en wit vir die verlies aan sig. <\/p>\n So \u2018lees\u2019 ons mense se uitkyk op die lewe, hul karakter of sentiment sonder dat \u2019n woord ges\u00ea word. <\/p>\n Party simbole is bloot funksioneel, soos \u2019n verkeersteken, of woorde wat gevorm word met die karakters van die alfabet. Dan is daar natuurlik tekens wat die mensdom verdeel, as ons byvoorbeeld dink aan die swastika of sekere handgebare.<\/p>\n Grafstene bied vir sekere mense \u2019n gevoel van nabyheid aan \u2019n oorledene. Ek het self \u2019n klein uitstallingtjie van fraai teekoppies wat vir my \u2019n simbool van my oorlede dogtertjie is. <\/p>\n Kyk net hoe handig is die emoji\u2019s wanneer ons selfoonboodskappe skryf. Sonder lang omskrywings \u2018lees\u2019 ons die skrywer se emosie of bedoeling. <\/p>\n Die konnotasie wat ons aan simbole gee, gee mag daaraan. As die mensdom net kan hou by simbole wat verenig en nie verdeel nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tato\u00ebermerke fassineer my.
