The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali

The imagery of the soft melting pocket watches epitomizes Dali's conception of 'softness' and 'hardness'. 'The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of out notions of a fixed cosmic order.'

Memories in the head can be so persistent such that time melts in the face of them. When I was visiting Spain, all I can think of was those artists whom I have studied in school. I long for their free spirits and unbounded imagination.
