Back to the theme of trees: this time it is leaves.
Leaves come in all shapes and hues; they are flexible;
they produce all kinds of music depending on the intensity of the wind and they
are constant reminders of the cycles in nature and by extension of those in our
lives.
Whether attached to the branches or lying on the
ground they brighten our space and are a wonder to look at.
To my mind leaves are in eternal communication with
each other not only while inescapably attached to the tree but also when they
begin their downward or, the wind willing, occasionally upward journey.
This end of cycle may serve as a way of introducing
young children or people in their early teens to the transience of human
existence.
I, therefore, composed a visual “conversation” between
two leaves setting off on this last journey.
