Simple Life..
This one is some what experimental.. Wasn’t sure where I was heading with it but it does represent one of the simplest plants we know.. Wheat….It’s so simple and has been a staple food, well, forever! This image represents it’s timeless quality.

G’day Basia,
To me this has a very haunting quality about it and while seemingly simple can hold a depth of meaning when one dwells on it for a while.
