Word & Image: Brainwashing the Narrative

Words reshape images because when you add text to an image, it changes its meaning instantly. Some word-image pairs create semantic gaps that can either be small and similar or large and very different from each other. Just as words alter images, the inverse is also true because images can also reshape how we interpret words. But remember, context is key – simultaneous presentation creates a more unified message, while delayed exposure increases the impact of meaning shifts.
