Echinopsis's Rhythm

Echinopsis's Rhythm (2023)​

​

'Echinopsis's Rhythm' began as a study about the fleeting beauty of Echinopsis subdenudata, a cactus known for its delicate white flowers, ephemeral in their existence, blooming for less than a day. 

 

The fleeting beauty of the cactus embodies the Buddhist concept of emptiness (Śūnyatā), where emptiness is not a void but a space of potential, where all things are interdependent and constantly changing. 

When we see the cactus flower, we see that it was emerged from the cactus, and this cactus was grown with the nutrients of the soil, the water it was watered with, the sunlight that it was soaked in everyday. It represents the idea that all phenomena are impermanent, and thus, empty of inherent existence.

 

Through the images which captures the details and transient nature of the blossoms, it is an invitation to embrace the beauty in the fleeting moments of life and to find peace in the understanding that all things, like the cactus flower, are temporary, interconnected, and ever-changing.
