What map do you see that is not visible to almost everyone else? Where does your reality diverge from the conventional? Is that what makes you remarkable?

Not As Expected
At first glance, the scene we encounter might look coherent—a plane departing a runway. Then we recognize the plane is a shadow and the ‘runway’ is a street grid for new housing development. Just because it rhymes does not mean it parallels reality.
