This feels like an arbitrary perspective.

Text has all the same properties as an image.

It’s a composite of elements of varying height, width, and meaning to the whole.

Some sentences can be longer, or shorter. One element can be overloaded with meaning more than another.

I’m not really sure if there’s a point here at all.

I like how the modern meme can capture an entire gestalt in 640x480 px. It's an extremely efficient means of communicating amongst people.
