About the Image
This image is an extension and a remnant. It is about a languishing. A prolonging of the time that we think of as now. A deep sense of mourning. A feeling of longing. It’s about the beauty that’s inherent. The potency of the living. The collective unforgiving. It reveals to me the delicacy and uncertainty of events that make up my one precious life, that make up many. Like a poem. This image is a moment. Distilled into crystalline form, elegantly fixed, completely fragile, ephemeral.
