The name of this series, The Struggle to Right Oneself, hits me deep in my chest.

“Beyond the basic laws that govern and maintain our equilibrium, we live in a world that constantly tests our stability in various other forms.”
- Kerry Skarbakka

This particular image has more of a feeling of intentionality than the others, which to me, indicates more of the choice that we have in how we respond to the tests we encounter.

The body is art. Food is art.
Who knew that combined, they’d make a landscape,
also art!

It’s beautiful, it’s playful.

Really though. His expression! The color splash amidst the grey! Heck yes.

Capture on film at high speed.

And get this splendid image.

I love how the shape of the water within the now-defunct balloon is preserved, even though the container has been reduced to a few splotches of material.
