Blossoms

Sometimes things just fall into place and work. Effortlessly. There’s action involved, movement, but no hard push, no enormous perseverance against resistance. The positive and negative flow is a constant dialogue, facing each other in the mirror of existence where each person, thing, or event in life is essentially neutral. Just being as they are. And yet we tend to color our lives into the absolutes of black and white, attributing meanings to everything around us. This coloring may seem to be universal and culturally accepted, and it may be deeply personal. In any case, it’s always unique because each of us is a unique and perfect individual, with a background, experience, and perception of our own. The project plays with the universal black-and-white duality of how we tend to live our lives, and then guides us to unite the opposites, a return to wholeness, which is their true nature.

In this project image and shape, like black and white, capture the essence of oneness. A three-dimensional expression of connectedness comes forth through the ancient Renzuru* technique of paper-folding, bringing the inner expression of balance in each photo to a new light of contrast where all becomes one.
