The Skin Has Eyes
"Touch, by clarifying and adding to the shorthand of the eyes, teaches us that we live in a three-dimensional world. [...] Touch allows us to find our way in the world in darkness or in other circumstances where we cant fully use out other senses"
-Diane Ackerman (A Natural History of the Senses)
I thought this was interesting and something I hadn't realized before, but touch really is what makes this a 3D world. Even with no vision, touch can link to the brain and decipher where someone is or what they are touching. I drew someones hands literally seeing the world how they would with just touch, not being able to see color, but being able to tell shape and form of the 3D objects.
