Our first Inspiration is about growth, time and the natural world. Condensing 1210 days into 8 minutes, this video reveals growth as a process of movement, shape and colour, allowing us to see what human-time normally obscures. We love this video because, seen this way, each of the plants takes on a new kind of life. It makes us wonder what our own lives might look like on fast forward. (Also, we like the music.)
Best of luck. We’re rooting for you!
Ten Heads, George Luks (C. 1905)
