Transience means something fleeting – the beauty of a moment that doesn’t last, yet leaves a trace. It is an undemanding presence that touches and moves forward. Everything is already in motion, even when still standing. Time breaks and rushes through us like light. Every moment is an explosion – and at the same time, almost silence.
Somewhere deep, in the undercurrents of thought, something stirs – beyond words, yet urging us to search, to long. Forms emerge and fade, but are never lost – like memories that remain without needing to be named.
It is neither peace nor explanation, but movement. A moment that simply appears – and disappears again. And yet it remains. In a different density.
