A Prolegomena towards a Study of Minlee Aizy’s Profile GFX

[Eru is a Blink]

I – Rationale

 

This is an attempt to draw out from this enigmatic profile GFX (with a re-configuration of phenomenological aims to fit aesthetical considerations) glimpses of a higher logic running universal across cultures in time.

 

Heidegger supposed that phenomenology must be interpretation of Being. However, it must be recognized that to go to Being is to go through Dasein (that is, the human being), and to go through Dasein is to go through the structures surrounding him. Therefore, it is reasonable to propose that phenomenology as a hermeneutic of Being must seriously consider the interpretation of what Dasein has surrounded himself with, which can be placed under the label “culture.†Supposing Dasein is the human being and what is cultural is human, then humanity cannot be divorced from its culture (in the universal sense). Culture is human, and what is human is inevitably reflected in culture.

 

It must be stressed that such a proposition will divert from Heideggerian thought. Culture is volatile, and what can be interpreted from Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX will not hold true in the future. After all, a la Heidegger, Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX is an ecstasis (phenomenon that stands out from its essential unity of other phenomena), and ecstases, contra Heidegger, are one of a kind in its own place in the unitary structure that is temporality/time. Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX as an ecstasis cannot be replicated, as do past elements of culture that has lost its fundamental setting. Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX is unique.

 

With this, this treatise will further attempt (in the service of the main objective) to slice through the layers of meaning that Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX.

 

II – Initial Impressions

 

The profile GFX is a departure of what is termed “night 90s city aesthetics†(Yuna, 2018). The current profile is what I will describe as a variation of “astro-aesthetics†(help me I’m making this up). Astro-aesthetics usually refer to outer space, and tries to recreate the feel by the contrast of black representing the dark expanse and gradations of color representing light.

 

In this case, Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX went with clouds of swirl/nebular patterns (is this even the correct term), points of light representation, and a flower that glows blue-white, and a strong shine from a light source. It forms the backdrop of a timeline that represents major points of Minlee Aizy’s profile as an OneHallyuer (gosh is it the correct term). Each major point has a link that is hidden.

 

Among other things, black always represents the unknown for man. It is the color of the incomprehensible abyss, and the larger portion of observable outer space. While traditionally, the blue sky represents the abode of the higher powers, with the space age, it is the dark expanse that invokes in us the idea of a power beyond comprehension. The backdrop of the stars is now a more powerful image of Heaven than before.

 

The contrast of the strong light shine with the dark expanse always re-presents the higher elegance of outer space. It re-invokes the wonder that is the dynamo of philosophy in its most primordial sense. The color scheme of the clouds of swirl/nebular patterns (pink, light red (?), yellow) is cultural re-configuration designed to project the personality of Minlee Aizy into the GFX. Its positioning is reminiscent of futuristic-minimalism such as seen in the Animus interface in the Assassin’s Creed series. It is a mark of Minlee Aizy’s current position in the temporal unity.

 

The blue-white flower perhaps is a reflection of Minlee Aizy’s love for Yu Yu Hakusho. The blue-white energy might be a representation of Yusuke (readily associated with the Rei Gun, which has a similar color scheme with the flower), and the flower is surely a representation of Keiko Yukimura, which has been one, if not the foremost, of the motivations that drive Yusuke.

 

The hidden links betray the primordial need for a unified world-view within man, where the disparate elements are welded into a singular, seamless whole. The timeline itself is a reflection of Minlee Aizy as an OHer, in existence as an OHer.

 

III – Initial Analysis

 

Here, the profile GFX is broken down into its elements and given a hermeneutic that hopefully leads to theoretico-cultural considerations behind the elements. The hermeneutic towards Being, however, is suspended. Furthermore, let there be an understanding that the analysis is grounded on the hermeneutic of the overarching concept of astro-aesthetics.

 

First point of analysis: can the profile GFX represent Minlee Aizy as Dasein? It can be argued that the effort poured into the profile GFX, with its multiple layers of meaning drawn from the overarching cultural structure, is one of the “everyday modes of engagement on the part of Dasein (what Heidegger calls an “existential analytic of Daseinâ€),†and “will be a first step towards revealing a shared but hidden underlying meaning of Being.†(Wheeler, 2018) With this, the profile GFX is actually a mode of engagement by Minlee Aizy as Dasein. If so, then Minlee Aizy indeed is Dasein. (To be continued in Further Studies)

 

IV – Conclusion and Final Thoughts (TL;DR)

 

Even in a spatiality twice removed from the real human being (or Dasein), the logic of the existential analytic of Dasein still holds true. For in its struggle to understand existence (here to understand that “Dasein can stand back or ‘out’ from its own occurrence in the world and observe itself (see e.g., Gelven 1989, 49),†and “Dasein stands out in an openness to and an opening of Being (see e.g., Vallega-Neu 2004, 11–12).â€) (Wheeler, 2018) Minlee Aizy is trying to observe herself and being open to Being (existence in itself, the final understanding of why one exists) as an OHer. But it is only one of the modes in which to do it. This must be understood.

 

I got to say, I am impressed with Minlee Aizy’s profile GFX. I always liked astro-aesthetics, not only because it looks cool, but also because it has a deeper meaning to me.
