Beautiful image Marcelo.

What is the leaf doing there ? ( just kidding )

Everything that has an end had a beginning, too. The ephemeral continuity between these extremes matters, too. What once was beautiful is still beautiful, even if, perhaps, in a different way. Touching image.

Two points on the continuum of life. Beauty cannot be contained even between two extremes. Brittle and supple, light and dark, jagged and smooth and on and on.... And then not to be forgotten, the symbolic fig leaf. Appealingly thought provoking.

Thanks lazlo.

Just a reminder.

As always Marcelo your work is both entertaining and enchanting. Would have been an entirely different message had a fig leaf been used instead. Thanks for sharing. Take care. Bob

I always look forward to your posts. Brilliant!

Great work, Marcelo. The separation adds interest, nice curves and super toning

Thanks santiago.

We spend some much time dreaming about “future” that we don’t realise it is already here.

Thanks Sonja.

The flow of life is like the Heraclites’ river: a discontinuous continuity. Although I know is hard to find where the circle begins or ends, I’m still trying to understand/see the ephemeral gap between past and present.

Thank you Bob, for your kind words.

You are right about the fig leaf. It could transmit a sense of shame or embarrassment that has nothing to do with the message I try to convey.
