About

Undisturbed space
All things may tend to entropy, but time also smooths the edges of chaos. Left to itself, a primitive harmony will assert its presence. An ancient forest’s random tumble of dead and falling limbs seems somehow perfect, despite the apparent mayhem. But to confine this within a frame, in two unchanging dimensions, requires the coercion of simplicity.
