It's like the watermelon is trying to appear bigger and more robust than it actually is. We all have this expectation of what watermelon is supposed to be, what it's supposed to fulfill for us. A thin slice of watermelon isn't going to make a great snack for anyone. But once the facade is lifted, we see the true watermelon. It's almost happy, dancing in the wind- and it's beautiful. When Nathan turns to the viewer, it's like he is almost challenging the viewer to examine their own perceived shortcomings. What facade are we presenting to others and when will we allow ourselves to dance in the wind just like the watermelon?
I think you’re reading too much into it, this is clearly a simple statement about empirical epistemology in light of Kantian apriori propositions. More concretely we assume watermelons are anything but thin from experience, and if Nathan were to show an image of a regular full watermelon instead we would assume that it was an ellipsoid with some significant depth. Yet the two dimensional observation itself says nothing about depth, it’s only our past assumptions about what watermelons “should be like” that extrapolate the observation to give the illusion that it extends beyond what we actually saw. Afterwards we might say “I saw a big watermelon.” Did you? Thus Nathan is making a case for the Kantian premise that objects conform to our cognition. In fact there is no real choice to be made between having objects conform to our cognition or our cognition conform to objects, because if we take the former path it’s only because paradoxically we are conforming to the property of the object that it is unknowable. Much of what we think of as “empirical observation” is heavily coloured by a network of apriori rules in our head. The napkin represents the barrier between us and truly knowing the object in and of itself. That’s all there is to it.
