NOWs: The Condition of Your Attention by Leon Eixenberger

09 December - 08 January 2016 / Nows

The fluid, the fluid of fluids, is frozen into crystals. What was always moving becomes still, until it melts again. Ice crystals are the immobilized that is dynamic through its interaction with environment. Ice is, therefore, a transient form, which is perhaps to say, not a form at all, for it always presses towards formlessness again.[1]

Crystalline environments are fragile, and their fragile untenability undoubtedly contributes to their beauty. Such fragility is materially occasioned. Ice and snow melt.[2]
