Somewhere in between atoms and galaxies, we exist.
How often do you think about the scale of our existence?
The universe is vast, but so is the world inside a single atom. Everything is Relative. A mountain appears as a small stone—or knee-level flora become forests—with clever perspective-manipulation in a photograph. Under the right lens, a droplet of water can hold an entire universe, with complex ecosystems and their very own celebrity appearances: water bears (Tardigrades). In the following pieces I’ve done my best to create a series of imagery that captures this feeling of existential wonder with scale disorientation.
As you scroll meditate on how our problems change based on perspective. Do they become smaller as we bring our awareness to encompass the entire universe?
We exists in worlds.

Poetic Threads!
For those of us who live in words, edit with caffeine, and revise until our eyelids stick to our scleras. POEtic Threads focuses on comfortable, wearable pieces, that nod to the writing life: for when you’re deep in the draft trenches, heading to a reading/book club, or just want to be cozy.
I love that this is so philosophical, yet simply put. The pics are beautiful too.
brilliant perspective shift!
