Capturing a fleeting moment in time and space

“Fiction is eternal; reality perishes. Invented forms live; real ones vanish. Truth is ephemeral; illusion, everlasting.”

— Jiri Krasek Ze Lvovic, Gothic Soul

Just as the river is never the same river because it is always flowing, reality as we know it is ephemeral, an illusion. When an artist paints, they are not painting reality but capturing a fleeting moment in time and space. The artist creates a painting that invites us in, letting our minds create forms to fit a narrative.

Physicist David Bohm described matter as “condensed or frozen light.” What is your reality? What is your illusion?
