TITLE | Leaves Don't Fall

A preliminary study for the art titled "Sacred geometries". The text is extracted from a poem by José María Toro in this book La sabiduría de vivir.
“Leaves don´t fall, they let go, starting a wonderful dance of letting themselves go they let go. In a gesture of generosity, deep wisdom they are thrown into the air void. Deep heartbeat of life, generous matrix that will house the bud of a new leaf. Wind symphony; song of freedom; remains invisibly united to the breeze of its own surrender & freedom. Creativity in spring.”
The leaf motif here makes it appear as if the leaves are making this statement.
