Imagine a room. It has a television, a couch, a table, and a lamp. Now frame that room, as if it were a picture. Does what you’re imagining now seem like a concept? You’re probably thinking: “uhh no. All we did was draw a rectangle around a few pieces of furniture.”

Okay, well what if we now framed that framed room? Suppose we took the frame of the room we made at first and shrunk it to a size that was 1/10th of the new frame we’re making now. Well call the frame we just shrunk a miniature frame. Well call this new frame, Frame 2.

Now imagine 5 other miniature frames (of rooms) inside of Frame 2. Is this not now a house? Or rather, something like the concept of a room and a collage of its examples?
