Sheer Embroidered Jacket

Layers.

You’ve heard of the social penetration theory developed by psychologists Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor in 1973? Simply stated, it says that we reveal ourselves in stages, as self-disclosure moves from shallow to more intimate. Peeling back layers of an onion and so on.

I’m no psychologist, but I wonder if those layers might be more fluid than the analogy suggests. If there’s some movement, a pas de deux of sorts, as layers float over each other.

Advance, retreat. Sometimes touching, sometimes not. Sometimes revealing, sometimes not.

I see that effect at work here.
