One of our favorite picture books (100% no words) is Zoom by Istavan Banyai. Or rather: one of our favorite picture book SERIES is the Zoom collection. It’s also one of our favorite devices: you look at an image and then the artist either “zooms in” closer for a more specific detail, or the artist does a “dolly back” to show you the context of what you are looking at. The books are Recommended Reading.
The Bowl recognizes though that this may be hard to see in your mind. Luckily the band Royksopp has a video that captures this technique darn well, and suitably the song has no words either.
