Though not always apparent, we humans have a strained relationship with reality. This is likely due to our ability to be aware of our awareness and that this self-reflective awareness presupposes its opposite: things outside our awareness, that is, sometimes things are in our focus/attention and then sometimes things are out of our focus/attention — but really 99.9999999999999999999...% of stuffs is out of our attention/focus, all of the time.

This tension is why we love abstract or non-objective art, particularly like that of Welsh born, London based painter Simon Job. He creates works that seem to attempt a focus on what is outside of focus, something like compelling inscrutable areas.
