Hermann Rorschach's Psychodiagnostik, still used, provides a limited scientific access to the interpretation of personality, claiming to be a study of individual perception ~ it is open to bias as a diagnostic tool and ignores context.
Thought Experiments: navigations in time, light + space: the liminal is a mysterious realm much like the body, with associated fascinations and fears. On a metaphoric level Fear of the Deep and Fear of the Body trigger similar visceral reactions; places where psychological shadows lurk, an opportunities exist to engage the Other. These dredgings from underwater/on the flux line/reflected on the shifting surface of water are both metaphoric and real, made strange by light + perspective.

Somatic Meaning ~ bringing images out of the body
Non-linguistic communication allows for multi-modal expression without verbal symbolisation. Embodied language can be made visible / 'readable' without wholesale reliance on a knowledge of paralinguistic modes. By tapping 'other ways of knowing' and bringing them to consciousness via images it is possible to honour 'silenced languages' and ancient pools of wisdom. Cultural chauvinism has its roots in a tangle of words.
