Is it disrespectful to the House to love some Statues more than others? I sometimes ask Myself this question. It is my belief that the House itself loves and blesses equally everything that it has created. Should I try to do the same? Yet, at the same time, I can see that it is in the nature of men to prefer one thing to another, to find one thing more meaningful than another.
I think throughout Piranesi, there is this quiet reminder that meaning isnt found in control but in attention, in truly seeing, appreciating, and finding beauty even in imperfection. I feel that this moment captures that truth perfectly. The House may love all things equally, but humans love particularly, and that’s what makes our love real. It’s how we connect to the world and to each other.
