Matter for Reflection

2005

Life is matter for reflection. Everything is matter for reflection. All matter is a reflection. The word photography comes from "light and drawing" drawing with light. Light reveals matter to me. My eye chooses the representation of matter that has a reflection or resonance in me. It is this reflection that leads to reflection because it is my whole being, heart, spirit, soul, body. This reflection defines me. Photography captures a moment of life, a sensor of the present that slides from the future to the past; the present always moves. I am the transmitter of a moment, a reflection, a thought that touched me. So it is with poetry. Each photo serves to engage a movement towards you, a sound, a word, a sensation. A conversation will follow and you will be the author. And each conversation will be different and unique; to each their own reflection and thought.

"To understand the genesis of forms in living things, one must take into account that various movements can interpenetrate and superimpose in one and the same place in space. By this special character, the liquid element provides an appropriate medium for these geneses that would be impossible in the solid where the law of impenetrability reigns. Nature reveals here one of its secrets, showing that movements are super-spatial. Water has the possibility of generating forms from simple orientations of forces or movements. This is a principle that plays the greatest role, for example, in embryonic development processes. Thus the liquid element contains in advance the forms of movement that living beings use to build their bodies" — Theodore Schwenk
