Earth, Air, Fire, Water
I saw this topic presented as a photo contest at a local festival and thought it could be an interesting forum game, especially when people begin to deviate from the literal representations.
Rules are simple:
- Follow the Sequence: We start with 'Earth'. The first participant posts a photo that represents Earth. The next person follows with 'Air', then 'Fire', and finally 'Water'.
- Keep the Chain Going: After 'Water', the sequence starts over with 'Earth'. Each post should follow the order of the elements.
- Metophorical Interpretations Welcome: Feel free to interpret the elements in your own unique way – let your creativity flow!
- Describe Your Shot: If you post a metaphorical image, briefly share how your image relates to the correspnding element.
For a brief and general reference regarding the metaphorical meanings, these elements can relate to various human qualities and aspects of the natural world as follows:
- Earth: symbolizes stability and reliability, mimicking the steadfastness and grounding nature of the solid ground.
- Air: represents intellect and creativity, reflecting the unseen but essential nature of air and wind.
- Fire: signifies transformation and passion, embodying both the creative and destructive power of flames.
- Water: metaphor for emotion and intuition, mirroring the fluid, adaptable, and life-giving properties of water.
