This quote by renowned surrealist artist Rene Magritte talks to the idea of understanding and the layers of significance that can be discovered within the world around us.

He challenges us to look beyond the surface area and to question the real nature of what we see, motivating us to dive deeper and discover the covert realities and mysteries that lie underneath. This quote works as a reminder to never choose what is just presented to us, however to always look for the hidden depths and complexities within our surroundings.
