The Differentiation of Marquezz
Differentiation is a term in system theory (found in sociology.) From the viewpoint of this theory, the principal feature of modern society is the increased process of system differentiation as a way of dealing with the complexity of its environment.
This is accomplished through the creation of subsystems in an effort to copy within a system the difference between it and the environment. The differentiation process is a means of increasing the complexity of a system, since each subsystem can make different connections with other subsystems. It allows for more variation within the system in order to respond to variation in the environment.
Increased variation facilitated by differentiation not only allows for better responses to the environment, but also allows for faster evolution (or perhaps sociocultural evolution), which is defined sociologically as a process of selection from variation; the more differentiation (and thus variation) that is available, the better the selection (Ritzer 2007:95-96).

Holy wow I was so caught up on your explanation of differentiation I almost missed your extraordinary image….
love the entire concept of “the more differentiation (and thus variation) that is available, the better the selection”
I am in awe of what you’ve done here, there is a distinct quality of being part of one spectrum and another.
you are a clever woman…xx

Very, very beautiful image, Lina….
This has uncanny similarities to a piece that I created this week after Isa’s and my collab on EC. She has seen the major part of it; but I’m holding it until October. You will know it instantly. Like we’re on the same wavelength.
Then again, nothing can really compare to the beautiful Marquezz. :D

This is one of my fav out of the series.. I am lost in working with all the shots.. the next hand shot is my fav.. he asked me specifically to give him the hand shots as I do believe he wants to do a series of poems.. I appreciate you Fran and have no doubt that we indeed are on the same wave length,, you heart is as big as the OCEAN!

Linaji, I must confess, cotrary to Lisa’s comment, who couldn’t concentrate on the image because of the text, I couldn’t concetrate on the text because of the image!!! It is so goddamn …..... can’t find the right word. It is so spellbounding.
linaji replied

It is beyond remarkable what impact this series of images has had on everyone who has seen them and clearly the experience has been one of profound awakening for you as well, Lina. This is just the most amazing image – I thought the last one I looked at was a good as it could get but one could get completely lost in this one! What a brilliant series, my friend. [And your description is absolutely phenomenal!]
linaji replied

It is funny how certain I am sometimes that I have already commented a a piece. I noticed this strong image several times and I would have sworn I had left a comment…........It is strong in my mind this image. The lines and the hidden all bring home your narrative about differentiation…...One might READ between the lines….....wonderful work!! Congratulations on being featured in inside Solo!!
linaji replied
Ohhh Elizabeth.. this is a killer comment!! you are so so wonderful. I am feeling like I grew 10 inches!! teehee.. much thanks .. your opinion means the world.. xxx

Excellent portrait of a beautiful young man! Differentiation – is this progress?
rodeorose
Thanks for the prompting o insightful one! RB is growing that differentiation in such a beautiful way, and we connect and become stronger through manifesting it. The choice of safron-orange was unconscious or conscious? Does it matter? Since it is the perfect choice. And this beautiful differentiated Man. Your work keeps resonating my dear.
