Texture of Absurdity

There is no answer to how to live.
For us humans with our meager allotment of intelligence, this is perhaps the greatest absurdity of all. The joy of awakening condenses drop by drop in the twists and folds of an endless loop.
Absurdity is the child of order and chaos. It the evidence that something has been born.The abstract made manifest through me might be small bugs spit out by absurdity.Like bugs, there is a reason for absurdity's existence on this planet.

Eriko Kaniwa is a digital artist based in Tokyo, and the creator of SENSEGRAPHIA FINE ART. Sensegraphia is a conceptual redefinition of photography, in which the visual aesthetics of the photograph are used to develop and express the sense of nature that enables us to recognize that humans are a part of nature and that we are centrally involved in nature's dynamics. Through fine art, Sensegraphia puts forward a philosophy and creative activities that reestablish the essential unity between people and nature.
