Description
Life is an adventure.
Every day is a continuation of its journey, every step takes us through, around, beyond, over, under, below, above, and within the landscape. And while it seems like some people get an easy ride in a limousine through sleek city streets, we are all, in reality, walking. No one takes the steps for us, because they have steps of their own to take. No one is another person’s chauffeur.
The artwork, Beauty and the Abyss, invites us to step into an especially beautiful, and rugged, landscape – along the Hermit Trail in the Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona, USA. There are no easy paths here – and few people, despite the millions who visit the national park each year, find it – but those who do, discover a place magical and surreal. (Isn’t that, really, what we seek for in life? To go beyond the prosaic, ordinary, expected, and commonplace?)
The young woman walks freely and easily because she is in no rush to get where she is going. Sinuous and graceful, she moves through her space with confidence. It’s odd, we initially think, that the boots she wears are not proper hiking boots; her clothing is not the latest and trendy from the sports fashion store, but then again, as this is her journey, her path, her adventure – it is not so very odd after all. Her choice of apparel is unique and unusual because she is unique and unusual.
(As are we all. But we tend to forget this. Or get told, over and over again, that we really should conform to “societal norms.”)
She has skirted the abyss. Aware that it is there, she has no doubt peeked into its depths, but then moves on. She walks around it, on her way through, around, beyond, over, under, below, above, and within her surroundings.
She is living her life, walking her path, as only she can live and walk.

The wonderful work of the National Park, which reveals many pitfalls, in a figurative sense, those that we go through life on our own. A perfectly done landscape, a bit unreal and a woman looking for her own path. l/f/pin/tw
