Paul Chung: Plastic Bag

There is beauty in the randomness of life. Beauty is not just only relatable to the standards of beauty that are distinctive in today's culture. That's the beauty of beauty. It's interchangeable. It is not constrained to one particular ideology. No, it carries over or even adds onto something more. But I digress. In relation to the video that was watched in class about the plastic bag floating in the wind there is a significant factor that resembles simplistic notions of beauty. What I mean by simplistic, I mean for example, joys as watching popcorn pop on the stove or simple joys in observing the anthill at work. These are all notions of what can be related to simplistically intricate notions of beauty. The same follows for the floating bag. The bag itself had a purpose which was to hold things, and to be carried. However, to look at the objectiveness of the bag, we lose the subjective aspects of the bag itself. Granted, we're talking about a plastic bag here, however, how it interacts with nature is what makes it so beautiful. No painting is complete without other paints being integrated into the artwork. The same goes for the bag, however, its an added value of beauty because it interacts with nature aka the wind. The wind in nature drives the bag up and down, to and fro, side to side, etc. It goes all over the place, but it goes not because of one particular thing. No, they are both working in unison. The wind drives the bag, but the bag's open sockets placates where the wind drives it towards. They are both at work like an intricate dance.
