Dynamic Equilibrium, Algonquin by Chris James Cooper

Discovery

White water rushes over dark Algonquin boulders while the forest blazes gold and green on the hills above — everything in motion, nothing out of balance. Chris titled it with an ecologist’s precision: dynamic equilibrium, the state where constant change produces perfect stability. A small canvas that holds a big idea.
