The transient nature of water has always fascinated me. Culture and ecology spring forth from riverbeds that wind through life, but the duality of nature is a two-sided sword. Water creates, destroys, and ultimately changes forms. This piece shifts from scene to scene, blending along the banks as the stream runs into enigma. There's no end to this liquid ouroboros and that's beautiful.
