Perception is the way we interact with the external world. It is our ability to receive sensory information from the environment, such as seeing, hearing, touching, and smelling. Through perception, we experience the world and its objects as they are in their materiality. Imagination, on the other hand, is the ability to create mental representations and go beyond direct sensory information, allowing us to conceive what is not present, recreate the past, or even anticipate the future. Based on the Sartrean interpretation that there is a dynamic tension between perception and imagination, our goal is to problematize the rigid distinction between these two concepts, recognizing that this dynamic plays a central role in our existential experience, and that the relationship between these two elements is not dichotomous but a constant interaction that enriches our understanding of the world and our own existence.
