Perspective seems to be my word of the month but I suspect it’s been around much longer and is here to stay.
I love the fact that a visual description is attached to a point of view. Especially since perspective is a “technique or process of representing on a plane or curved surface the spatial relation of objects as they might appear to the eye”. I love to read “might” appear to the eye. It means that a perspective is a possibility. I also love the fact that perspective makes it possible for us to experience a third dimension of a two dimensional surface.
The following is taken from merriam-webster.com/dictionary. It offers a definition and an example. I left the last one open as an invitation to you to fill in the blanks. I hope you do and share your perspective.

1. a technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface.

2. a picture employing this technique, especially one in which it is prominent:

3. a visible scene, especially one extending to a distance; vista:

4. the state of existing in space before the eye:
The elevations look all right, but the building's composition is a failure in perspective.
5. the state of one's ideas, the facts known to one, etc., in having a meaningful interrelationship:

Two examples that can influence our perspectives:
