In fleeting moments, paths entwine, Ephemeral bonds that life designs. We meet by chance, our stories blend, A spark, a laugh, a brief amend. Through hurried days and nights that fade, In crowded rooms or sunlit glades, We share a glimpse of who we are, A trace, a light, from near or far. I see…
The Yellow Tree by Alex Bain
This beautiful yellow tree represents the time I sent a picture to my friend in Australia. They thought the image stunning and wished they were there with me. This tree reminds us that perspective frames how we view the same situation / object.

Self Portrait by Mia Agnew

The “Grate” Marriage by Beryl Allotey
Following along the trend of doing something new, I made a collage based off of two cheese graters that looked like they had faces. I thought they looked rather sweet, so I made a simple wedding for them. Depending on who you ask though, they may look evil instead – it’s all about perspective
