Precarious Structures

Enso & I

Milky Way

Henry David Thoreau

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.  It is not indifferent to us which way we walk.  There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one.  We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.

~ from Walking, 1863

Andrei Tarkovsky

I don't know what my symbols mean. I only desire to induce feelings, any feelings, in viewers. My images do not signify anything beyond what they are… We do not know ourselves that well: sometimes we express forces which cannot be grasped by any ordinary measure.
