Body zoom

Beauty doesn’t always leap out at you.

There’s a dance where it can be seen just by moving in more closely. Zooming in physically shows us details that we otherwise would miss.

On the grounds of a commercial building, you might at first see only an old semi trailer.

But when you move in and study it, paintings emerge.

You have to get very close to see the magic of the reflection on the handle of an old filing cabinet.

Even kudzu can reveal the secret flowers if you don’t shy away from it,

and weeds in the pavement cracks show off their fine hairs when your face is nearby.

So move your body if you want to see beauty. The closer you look, the more there is to see.
