IN HIS HANDS...

I was reminded of this powerful pair of images yesterday...


It's created by the Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco and it speaks to me of the human clay, of the relationship between the human species and the earth with live on; of the human heart and its fragility; of the value of generosity, the opening of hand and heart; of the process of creation in all its simplicity and complexity; of the power of a simple idea conveyed in simple form; of what is hidden and what is revealed.

Make of it what you will, I think it's a distillation of self-evident beauty and declarative truth. I thought I'd share it with you, in case you have never seen it--and in the belief that, having once seen it, like myself, you will never forget it.
