TAOGRAFIA

When an object is exposed to the elements, nature begins to claim what once belonged to her. As it does, textures emerge that echo the shapes and rhythms of the natural world.

What was thought to be random decay reveals an underlying harmony. Patterns where nature imitates itself on a smaller scale. What appeared inert becomes vivid, almost alive.

I call this phenomenon Taografia, inspired by the Chinese concept of the Tao: a mysterious principle through which the world unfolds, or the natural flow of existence.
