Torres' "Lens Strokes I". Photographs of Nature, mediated scrupulously by advanced digital camera technology. "It is inspired by Nature and the people all around us. We live in a society that has forgotten to be present in the Here and Now. These images are a portrait of the very essence that makes every moment a singular experience. From the mundane to the exotic. From the breath full to the breathless. Give yourself to the experience. Contemplate for a moment. Your own being will suggest what is there. Life is Vibration. Vibration is Life" (Jorge L. Torres). Each contemplative image of Nature, presented on the right-hand side, is accompanied en face, with poetic text fragments by Miao Yuan, in both the Chinese original (Chinese characters in Miao's own hand, reproduced on the page) and felicitous English translation.
