Nature's Metaphor
The Impermanence in Dew
Symbolizing the beauty and impermanence of life.
The Visual Intervention (Received in 2010 – Near Raleigh, North Carolina) presents a strikingly simple yet profound scene: droplets of water perfectly spaced along a slender green blade of grass. This image, captured in monochrome, enhances the transitory beauty of the dew before the rising sun claims it. The droplets, each a tiny world reflecting a moment in time, are poised delicately, moments away from slipping down the blade or evaporating into the air, embodying the essence of impermanence. The contrast of the dark background with the luminous beads of water invites contemplation on the fleeting nature of existence, how each moment is precious and unique, never to be exactly replicated again.
