As safety professionals, we often find ourselves immersed in data, metrics, and regulations.
In William Blake’s iconic art piece, “Newton,” we see a powerful representation of this analytical approach. Newton, intently measuring and calculating, symbolizes the rigorous pursuit of scientific understanding. However, Blake’s art challenges us to look beyond the numbers and embrace the human side of safety.
Embracing New Perspectives: Join Us at the Houston SPoR Event
As safety professionals, we often find ourselves entrenched in established protocols and procedures, striving to maintain order and control in our complex field. However, there’s tremendous value in occasionally stepping back and exploring new perspectives—opening our minds to fresh ideas and innovative approaches.
At our upcoming Houston Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR) event, we invite you to do just that. This year’s event will be held at the Jung Center, at the heart of the museum district in Houston, where we will learn from art pieces like William Blake’s iconic “Newton.” Blake’s portrayal of Sir Isaac Newton, a symbol of rationality and scientific inquiry, is pictured with a background of swirling, organic forms that hint at the richness of human experience beyond pure logic.
Blake’s artwork challenges us to reconsider the boundaries of our understanding and embrace the interplay between reason and intuition. In the same spirit, our SPoR event aims to expand your horizons by introducing diverse viewpoints and fostering a culture of curiosity and openness.
