Dance of the Dying Series

We are all moving towards the moment when this life will end for us. In a way, we could say we are living to die. But we can also see it as... every moment we have a chance to dance. To float. To Be alive even as we all slowly near the transition point. We are all in different stages. As we grow older, we learn that life is a transition - a swing from one moment to the next. Joy hides in the present moment. A new adventure awaits on the other side of this moment. So even these simple leaves that only live for one short year take one last dance as they let go and come to rest in a place where they will transition into the raw nutrients of the tree that gave them life. These photos were created while in residency at VCCA.
