Looking Beyond Labels

LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
Somewhere between,
Land and sea,
Light and dark,
And peace and chaos,
Lies a world we think we know, or do we really?
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
We quickly label everything and rarely stray from its given designation. Until we look, really look at something does it unveil its complexity and seamless transmutation into something other.​
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
It is that other I am drawn to. 
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
Discovering the other is better than walking down the stairs Christmas morning to a roomful of glittering gifts. The other is the ultimate gift, the reward for having persistence to see. 
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
On a recent visit to Provincetown I found more than sand and sea. I found the warp and weft of light and texture. It was difficult to see sand for sand, or water for water, for the interplay of the two created the other. 
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
Life is in constant flux. It is in that flux that labels disappear, and new identities emerge. 
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
Welcome the flux. 
LOOKING BEYOND LABELS
Live in color,
Abby
