Simple but nicely done…
One person’s ‘out’ might be another person’s ‘in’ and therefore this brings insight into the viewer. Lots to reflect on here.
And, like a rock has a "place." I love the tension this sets up, the way it exposes–gently–the tendency some of us have (well, I speak for myself) to "tweak" things, as if perfection only comes from tweaking. Lovely, just lovely.
