| picture by Rose-Lynn Fisher The Topography of Tears is a study of 100 tears photographed through a standard light microscope. "Tears are the medium of our most primal language in moments as unrelenting as death, as basic as hunger, and as complex as a rite of passage. They are the evidence of our inner life overflowing its boundaries, spilling over into consciousness. Wordless and spontaneous, they release us to the possibility of realignment, reunion, catharsis: shedding tears, shedding old skin. It’s as though each one of our tears carries a microcosm of the collective human experience, like one drop of an ocean. " http://www.rose-lynnfisher.com/tears.html |
