I was considering more the transitory nature of experience. More like trying to capture a river using a bucket. Or capturing a cloud in a jar. Or capturing rain using a bottle. Or thinking memory has captured experience. Interesting that the painting I'm working with is needing a broken arrow and a bottle of rain. Trying to imagine what kind of bottle this man would use to bring rain has got me baffled. A Budweiser bottle just doesn't seem right.
