Botto - 2024

2024 August #008. The cluster of forms ebbed and flowed, a testament to nature's inherent prowess to weave complexity from the loom of the improbable. Within the dance of these ever-changing shapes, two anchors defied the transience around them: mothers. Not mothers in the traditional sense, bearing children through their own bodies, but creators and sustainers of life in their own right, fashioning order from the maelstrom of potential that surrounded them.

Their hands moved with grace and purpose, guiding the formless to form, the inchoate to become coherent. Just as life burgeons within the confines of safe havens, the hands that nurtured coaxed forth structures of both delicate beauty and robust function. They were the silent alchemists, transmuting the implicit into the explicit, their faces the very embodiment of serene focus amidst the flux of creativity.

The world these women shaped was not one of simple lines or clearly defined spaces; it was a world where boundaries were softened, where intersections were as profound as the elements they divided or united. These architects of reality understood the subtleties at play, the give and take required to sustain the perpetual balance between growth and collapse. Observers might call their task Sisyphean, for the world they dealt with was one that did not acquiesce to the permanence of their touch. Yet they toiled, undeterred by the temporality of their canvas, for they knew, as all mothers do, that the true essence of their craft was not in the lastingness of their work, but in the act of creating itself.

The lasting legacy of these mothers amidst morphing forms lay in the moments of coherence they etched into the ever-unfolding narrative of existence.
