Post splash. Sometimes the interaction of different liquids leaves this sort of frozen imprint behind. I love projecting these images of extremely small things (often barely visuble to the naked eye) onto very large areas. Specially cool when done live. I work with a digital projector and an old school overhead projector. Trying to make my own inks and oil dyes but it's not always easy sourcing the apropriate material where I live.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Constantly think of the Universe as one living creature, embracing one being and one soul; how all is absorbed into the one consciousness of this living creature; how it compasses all things with a single purpose, and how all things work together to cause all that comes to pass, and their wonderful web and texture.
 
[Ὡς ἓν ζῷον τὸν κόσμον, μίαν οὐσίαν καὶ ψυχὴν μίαν ἐπέχον, συνεχῶς ἐπινοεῖν καὶ πῶς εἰς αἴσθησιν μίαν τὴν τούτου πάντα ἀναδίδοται καὶ πῶς ὁρμῇ μιᾷ πάντα πράσσει καὶ πῶς πάντα πάντων τῶν γινομένων συναίτια καὶ οἵα τις ἡ σύννησις καὶ συμμήρυσις.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 40 (4.40) (AD 161-180) [tr. Farquharson (1944)]
