Close-up scrutiny
Detailed investigation
Careful examination
The nature of the artist finds the mystery of nature the primary source of aesthetic inquiry. Seeking the precise meaning that consciousness gives to existence, observant moments of life are filled with creation.
“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.” – Gerard De Nerval
Invigorate senses
Basking in the sun
Outside in the garden
An attitude object is the thing a determination targets. Developing appreciation for the maligned Dandelion changes weed dynamics.
“The earth laughs in flowers.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Common lilac
Flowering plant
Widely naturalised
As an evolutionary visual signal of an abundance of nectar, perhaps pollinators are innately attracted to flowers based on beauty. In such a circumstance, aesthetic pleasure encourages activity independent of any cognitized immediate result. Basic instinct and environmental conditioning affect the possibility of free will.
“The lilac branches are bowed under the weight of the flowers: blooming is hard, and the most important thing is – to bloom.” – Yevgeny Zamyatin
Luminous intensities
Qualitative rhythm
Discrete multiplicity
Moving in close to study small botanical details advances life’s own domain, a reciprocal interpenetration that manifests in incessantly continued creation. External matter intimately participates in our conscious duration.
“We perceive the physical world and this perception appears, rightly or wrongly, to be inside and outside us at one and the same time; in one way, it is a state of consciousness; in another, a surface film of matter in which perceiver and perceived coincide.” – Henri Bergson
Indivisible melody
Dynamic progress
Multiplicity of elements
The backyard floral progression provides source material in furtherance of photographing the blooming phase for the specific purpose of entering a themed art show. The challenge is to express novelty in approach to understand the natural world.
“The object of art is to put to sleep the active or rather resistant powers of our personality, and thus to bring us into a state of perfect responsiveness, in which we realize the idea that is suggested to us and sympathize with the feeling that is expressed.” – Henri Bergson
Moment conception
Into the future
Sometimes lost
Making the choice to live in a deeply creative way, proportion and inconsistency rule in a relapse of abstraction. In the full physical connection of objects, the nature of the things connected merges with the character of the conjunction.
“We can never understand a composition in its full concrete effectiveness for all possibilities of environment.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Midspring bloomer
Ornamental fringe
Sprightly way
Flowers have wide powers in the display of approach, occasion, and approximation. Such interconnectedness momentarily appears in a timeless eternity.
“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone.” – Marianne Williamson
Physical dialectics
Imaginary intimacy
Short-lived projection
Although plants make for good roommates, they do demand a measure of responsibility. In such relationships, the function of inhabiting under ambient conditions constitutes the connection between full and empty.
“I am the space where I am.” – Noel Arnaud
Cheerful little flower
Designated undesirable
Surviving all difficulties
Every part of the tenacious dandelion is expedient and can variously be used as food, medicine, dye, and/or for aesthetic enjoyment. So why is it considered a weed? Perhaps it is time to abandon the unnatural quest for uniform grass lawns.
“The tarashaquq is like chicory.” – Al Razi
