Refuge (Or, The Ant vs. The Universe)

When I first worked with this photo it was about the flower, the lack of symmetry in the petals and the way that correlated to life’s imperfections. Then I noticed the ant seeking refuge and was reminded of how vast and unknowable the universe is….and how tiny we are, how fleeting our existence in comparison to eternity. What we take away from an image sometimes depends on what we are seeking, or on our focus.
