Letting Go

Inspiring. This incredible sculpture towered 40 or 50 feet in the air, yearning for the sky while staying connected and balancing itself. As it stretched, it emoted fragility, vulnerability, and a desire to release, but swayed by a fear of disconnecting. Looking up at it from the black lava sand shore, I couldn't help but wonder about man's drive to create art. I realized that it is not our trait, but rather our simply resonating, channeling, mirroring, and expressing Nature's universal energies and tendencies. I tracked this elegant spire across three days and then it was gone, vanished – a great example of the "original" performance art - exquisitely beautiful dynamic, and transient.
