Wipers by James Mahoney
They walk among us, the poor souls whose perceptions of reality differ so sharply from our own. The more they document their observations, the more they reinforce and deepen their conviction that they see what the rest of us are blind to.
Clearly, they are delusional…aren't they?
…
We can never really know what others are thinking, nor know definitively whether their perceived reality match ours. Mostly, they overlap, but there are fringes, small and large, where perceptions of reality take very different turns. Some veer far off the conventionally understood rails.
The images and the story idea for Wipers came out of musing over what passersby may be thinking, especially those whose "normal" is decidedly different from our own.
