How easy it is to get lost or seduced by reflections. The river, like a heart, reflects all that surrounds it
in a canyon of brilliant mirrors. Images move across the water in stillness and in motion. Yet, somehow
the river always holds its integrity never becoming what it reflects.
With the experience of becoming lost in a magnificent multitude of ever changing images, I explore
ways to separate the river from what it reflects. How is it possible to frame the limitless complexity of
nature? Only with simplicity. Otherwise there is danger that we see only the frame itself.
In this dialogue, a blank sheet of paper, the absence of image, creates a frame in reverse. It illuminates
the multi-dimensional aspects of reflection and it highlights the reality of nature. All in silence.
