This makes me feel weird. Though it is technically a pipe by our standards, is it though? Is a pipe even a real thing. The word pipe is a combination of sounds that our throats are able of putting together to describe a man made object. If its not a pipe what should we call it? Should we call it the chemical compounds that make it up? But aren't those words manmade as well. This is really deep stuff.
Also, it's really not a pipe (the object) but a representation or a "copy" of a pipe, which relates back to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" (reality as experienced by the senses, which Plato argues is a poor copy of what he defines as a transcendental reality apprehended only by the intellect--the perfect Forms). This painting also points to the representational nature of language and calls the reliability of language into question (very postmodern).
