About Me
I’m 21 and living in Munich, Germany. I’m studying two degrees at once (Psychology and Philosophy). In my spare time I explore theology, history, and art. I enjoy chess, sudoku, Minecraft, and Stardew Valley. I speak German, English, and French fluently. DNI: if we don’t share interests. I prefer thoughtful conversations or debates on specific topics. “The aim of life is self-development.” — Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray |

Johannes Vermeer
✕
Allegory of Faith
Vermeer’s Allegory of Faith presents an intimate theater of devotion within a quiet interior. The woman, dressed in blue and white, gazes heavenward in rapture, one hand on her heart and one resting on a Bible and chalice — symbols of faith and sacrifice. A crystal sphere hangs above, reflecting divine perfection, while the crucifixion painting in the background deepens the spiritual tension. Every object — the globe, the apple, the serpent — carries layered religious meaning. The scene is serene yet charged, transforming stillness into transcendence through light and symbolism.
✕
Woman Holding a Balance
In Woman Holding a Balance, Vermeer transforms a domestic scene into a meditation on moral choice. The woman quietly weighs unseen contents on her scale before a painting of the Last Judgment — a visual reminder of spiritual reckoning. The pearls and coins on the table symbolize earthly vanity, while her calm pose evokes introspection and restraint. Through the soft, diffused light and perfect compositional balance, Vermeer turns a moment of stillness into a vision of timeless harmony and virtue.
✕
The Love Letter
The Love Letter captures an intimate, layered moment between a maid and her mistress within a carefully composed interior. The lute and letter hint at romance, while the open curtain places the viewer as a hidden observer. Vermeer’s mastery of perspective and light transforms this quiet exchange into a scene charged with emotional ambiguity — a delicate balance between secrecy, affection, and domestic grace. Francisco Goya
✕
A Way of Flying
In this capricho, Goya treats flight as both fantasy and folly. The airborne figures strain against cloth contraptions, suggesting human ingenuity twisted by delusion. Satire and unease mingle: the wish to transcend earthly limits collapses into a vision of weightlessness without direction—an image of reason unmoored.
✕
What Courage!
Goya freezes a heroic gesture in a volatile, war-torn world. The figure steps forward against chaos, her stance cutting through smoke and confusion. Rather than triumphalism, the scene carries Goya’s signature ambiguity: bravery is real, but it burns inside a landscape of terror and doubt.
✕
Witches' Sabbath
The goat-headed figure presides over a circle of witches, a nocturnal theater of superstition and fear. Goya’s stark contrasts and skewed space stage a ritual that feels both grotesque and hypnotic. The painting reads as a critique of collective hysteria—how darkness becomes credible when dread replaces reason. |

I’m going to learn a lot from you. Hooray Have you read the Last Messiah? It proposes that intelligence is a flaw by arguing that humanity prefers staying in their comfort zone than exposing themselves to the truths. Because, after all, truth hurts! It’s a good essay to read and really paints in detail on how humanity represses consciousness I’m not sure if I’m qualified enough to teach anyone anything, but thank you :D I'd be happy if I could be of any help. by throughthehosiery; ; Report I love book recommendations, so I’ll definitely put it on my book list. There are so many I’m planning to read, I’m getting started in Fyodor and Nietzsche’s work ^^ Also Dante’s Divine Comedy for fun U definitely should read them but i wouldnt suggest Nietzsche if ur not already familiar w philosophy to some degree. by throughthehosiery; ; Report |

heres a philosophy question: if the meaning of life is the life itself, then what is the meaning of death? can nonexistence truly hold any meaning to us? humans have always found meaning in things, but how do we place meaning in the act of not existing? is it what lead up to the death, the final action before the death, is it the death itself, is it the beliefs of the person who died? truly something puzzling to think about. From a nihilistic perspective, which I also share, life has no inherent meaning, and likewise, death has no ultimate meaning either. by throughthehosiery; ; Report |
