fall errors giving
Power. like the diamond, dazzles the beholder, and also the wearer; it dignifies meanness; it magnifies littleness; to what is contemptible, it gives authority; to what is low, exaltation. To acquire it, appears not more difficult than to be dispossessed of it when acquired, since it enables the holder to shift his own errors on dependents, and to take their merits to himself. But the miracle of losing it vanishes, when we reflect that we are as liable to fall as to rise, by the treachery of others; and that to say "I am" is language that has been appropriated exclusively to God! Charles Caleb Colton
fall giving wife

Charles Caleb Colton

Charles Caleb Colton

broken unity important
For me it's really important that the work here displays an aesthetic of decay along with the sunken boat with the broken ceramic pieces.

It's really the beauty of decay and death that holds a power here. Cai Guo-Qiang
