For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Wood, in this flooded oak hammock we call the Oak Garden, there is both living and decaying wood. An endless cycle. From a national forest in North Florida. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #nature #trees

A face dissolving into ink.
Thoughts louder than words.
What remains when identity breaks apart?
Fracture of Silence — ink, chaos, and restraint in uneasy balance.

This may look like a starfish.
But this is a brittle star. No central brain. No single point of control. Each arm makes its own decisions.
They can regenerate entire limbs, move with snake-like precision, and literally sacrifice arms to escape predators.

"My personal go-to is brokenhearted sobbing, followed by intense feelings of hopelessness for about a day, listening to sad pop songs, and then getting back to painting"

Octopuses have been wandering in the oceans for 296 million years. They have three hearts and blue blood and they can even be elegant in their magical underwater dance.
