Be it the calm waters of a lake, or a thunderstorm. Men has always searched for analogies for the state of his soul in the water.
The Swiss psychodiagnostic Hermann Rorschach published the so called “Rorschach test” in 1921. Better known as the inkblot-test it is still widely used by psychologists and psychiatrists. Interpreting the reactions to the pictures does help the therapist analyze the personality of their patients.
Moeuhane Sandalwood has taken several pictures of reflections on SL-waters. Those photographs were the base for his own interpretation of the “Rorschach cards”. They can serve the patron as a mirror to their soul.
