DETAIL

Statement

Sittiparus varius

There is no specific concept attached to this photograph. It merely depicts an event that suddenly happened to me. Nature is not something you can control. It is both cruel and charitable. Perhaps I did something good to deserve this? Nature brought me a bit of compassion on this day. I accept it as a reward for having turned my attention to nature.
