Our cultural inheritance shapes the way we see. For example, research has shown that those who live in a city or town are particularly well attuned to horizontally and vertically oriented lines because that is mainly what they see in the form of buildings, streets, and so on. That is not the case for those who spend most of their time in an environment dominated by oblique shapes. “to see in the fullest sense of the word, it is not enough to open your eyes; you also must come with an open mind.”
