Everywhere, oil and Water are part of life from the sub atomic micro to the geophysical  macro scales. Oil and water are resistant and through that resistance emerges an endless arrangement of beautiful patterns in constant motion. They are beautiful irrespective of they way they are distinguished, be it by using colour or a by magnifying with lens technologies. I often wonder how as humans our perception fits into this dynamic. Our minds, our thoughts, our emotions, our physical form, our collective cultures and how we change them? This sequence of images explores the nature of symbolism in forming concrete concepts that hold together a set of ideas and allow for consistent momentum. When sets of ideas are held collectively large scale action is made possible. They become cultures, concrete philosophies that become religions, rituals, cultures, nations and histories. Through such sets of ideas large scales people and physical resources are moved and shaped and held together. The points of difference that create ideas out of the abstract world seem to become the boundaries that define nations, power, control, pride and prejudice. What we seem to forget is that there is connectedness. We glean ideas from each other, react to them, pass them on and  reform them.  It makes sense to me that if we are to point the finger at another set of ideas, we ought to look for their presence and place in our own.
