The first offering is a scene at once familiar and surreal -- a pair of forms evoking the cellular core of living things in the act of of division, suspended and encased within an egg-like cocoon (itself seemingly filled with perhaps ancient amber) . . . Yet the horizon hints at an atmospheric, expansive spatial scale . . . perhaps a view of alien forms, even planets, reproducing.
The second photograph is a simple presentation of the elegance inherent in nature's evolutionary creation. To the casual (or cynical) observer these may simply be flowers -- yet the nuanced soul recognizes that each is utterly unique unto itself, and abundantly, humbly capable of inspiring awe and respect of the potent beauty on hand. The most advanced scientific inventions (the efforts of which I am an ardent admirer) remain vanishingly short of such complex and delicate results as these.
