Layers of color like fuzzy clouds. A black screen with scratches. Splattered paint. Regularly arranged color blocks. What do they represent? If the painted objects are familiar, such as landscapes, figures, or still lifes, the question "What is this? will probably be answered in a way that everyone can understand. That is to say, we can share the object depicted.
As science progresses, ambiguity should be eliminated. We live in a world in which we have no doubts that rationality is the absolute best explanation, the one that everyone can agree on. Air, atmosphere, and the sixth sense - the reason why humans have kept them out of the public sphere as uncertain elements from modern times to the present may be because they are (or are thought to be) not truly sharable.
If this is the case, then could it not be that this perception is an inalienable freedom granted to each individual human being? And now, in front of an abstract painting, we enjoy the expansion of perception in a state of freedom, unrestricted by anything.
