Ended Before Starting


One of the things I try to avoid in life, is having to ask the "what-if" questions.

Fall: Day 1

Redhead

Decay and death are a mirage, for as the red leaf falls - it is all just a preparation for rebirth. Surprising, quick, budding rebirth. Not now, later. Quiet tranquility of changing seasons. Quiet, yet fundamental seasonal death, and a more violent, sudden spur to life. It's not a routine, it's a cycle. Life is stuck in routine. While cycles are natural.  

Not Yet Fallen

What is "now"? Now is just a moment of time. Located between past and future, it is infinitely small - almost untraceable. Oh, that's already a passed millisecond, look out here comes the future one! Yet the trees can feel the "now". Their difference between the naked future and the fully clothed past is longer, they live in a slower present.

11 Days of Fall

11 Days of Fall is my project about falling leafs, fallen ordinariness, and rising beauty, as fall transforms my hometown like Cinderella - almost by magic. Aggressive colors and vibrant texture come as a wave, a fleeting one, but powerful enough to not only wash over the plants, but also affect the moods and the souls of the people. For 11 nonconsecutive days, I will be posting 2 pictures of fall, each time. Celebrating fall is more than celebrating beauty. It is also celebrating silent, but powerful change. I will attempt to capture this change and I will not write or comment - just speak through pictures.


Peace and serenity, cleansing the soul,
Life is in hideout, preparing to rest,
Quietly, suddenly, altered by fall,
As per mysterious, divine request,
Nature transformed.

New York

New York

Glass domes rise from the Earth, as per some science fiction novel of the 1800's. They represent the Climb, embodying the ascension of the individual and the nation's strive to the top. Ants, ants work in these glass catacombs, consumed by their bustle for shallow happiness that successful greed provides, being useless, dispensable as individuals - but forming a powerful organism together, the modern Corporation. It was interesting to walk on the streets of that dynamic world, inhabited by luck and greed and perfect timing, all three playing with people's fates within these towers of Babylon.

Rest


Inspired by the lack of sleep.
