Water takes the form of its surroundings. It has no form independent of its environment. However, it has recognizable structural patterns. Water, unless completely stagnant and still, is in constant flux. One moment to the next its structure cannot be predicted. Its structural patterns are combinatorially explosive.
Each image from Whychus Creek captures an entirely new set of water molecules. The structure is never the same. The water is never the same.
Each image suggests our own bodily structure which, like water, is also always in constant flux. One image of any given part of our own bodies is also different from one moment to the next. An adult body, on average, is 60% water. It should come as no surprise that human bones and sinew are echoed in the structure of water.
In science and human perception, temporal patterns are revealed through reductionism. The spaces in between are always far greater than what can be revealed.
