Nothing is permanent. As things change, they evolve. What may seem mundane can become an interesting piece of art. A rusted piece of metal becomes a landscape. Broken glass becomes reflective pools of sky. Simple objects become complex and complex objects become simple.
Many Buddhists appreciate the symbolism of the lotus because this beautiful flower rises out of muddy, unpleasant-looking, and ordinary ponds. In a similar fashion, the beauty in my photographs arises from objects that look ordinary or unpleasant at first glance. Beauty can rise from transformation and surprise us. By finding beauty in transformation, I capture the constantly changing nature of reality.
