Cycles of the Earth
I’ve been contemplating about this one for quite some time now. There are times when the idea strikes but it doesn’t feel quite the right time to hatch. I took these photos on a lovely day in the south of Malta. Sometimes I just pick up the camera, get to a place, and wander around aimlessly, alone. I find these moments mentally relaxing. When I have no restrictions, I feel free, and the result is usually inspiring and productive, even if I don’t take a single image.
The idea for this work came while I was watching the sea embrace the rocky shore. Although the process is repetitive, it is different every time. It is the nature of earth itself. As time progresses, we enter various cycles, some lasting fractions of a second, others lasting thousands of years. Every time, the cycle repeats itself, but the nature of time and earth are such that the experience is always different, because everything else changes – people, environment, technology, etc…
