.... normal places. He does this in the essay by describing his pursuit of a perfect space to paint. He states that he looks on walls, paper, and several other places. His search, however, comes to end in the most normal of places, the ceiling above his bed. In the essay he realizes that he has found his object of desire in a rather ordinary place. In a similar way, people in today's society can find their desires in places that are rather customary. We, however, are not looking for a place to paint.
