‘when the real world becomes a fable’

Waterfalls have always fascinated me. There is something mystical about them. They embody a sense of transience and eternity in each and every moment. They exist as they are, as they seem to have been, always. But if you look closely, the forms of the rocks that shape the water, and the water that shapes them, are ever changing. Past and future moments exist simultaneously in every fall, in every drop of water, ever one, ever moving, ever changing, existing everlastingly in every single fleeting moment. My mind is silenced by the constant noise.

‘when the real world becomes a fable‘

‘when the real world becomes a fable‘ arose from an exploration of the process of erosion: with a focus on both caves and waterfalls. The images sprang from a fascination with the idea that something as tender, soft, nurturing and fluid as water is able to degrade and (re)shape something as solid and massive as stone formations.
