What if….
If you could, what would you change about your life. Many of us wouldn’t change a thing. I am who I am today because of what my life was before, warts and all. But change isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes those small decisions can be good.
Pierre Carreau’s AquaViva Series
This sculptural effect of dynamism in static suspension is at once conscious and haphazard, a function of the rapid genesis of these images and the evident fact that the artist cannot possibly see the final work at the very moment of its birth.
Man Wearing Still Life
