Rise and Fall

'No matter how many times you fall there's always a strength to get up, 
and no matter how high you rise you will eventually fall.'

(Tools : Watercolor)

Have you ever think about how strong a Tree is?
Trees in some countries are going through several seasons. They blossoms, but there're times where they have to sheds their pretty leaves in order to keep living, to be able to rise again. It becomes their life cycle. So, do you think human is just like that tree?

Less is More


or also known as 'Minimalism' in Art, Design, & Architecture. I won't explain by writing a long essay for the definition because Google can explain it for you, better than me. But here's some key phrases that will help you to guess :

----
"The minimalism is where the subject is reduced to its necessary elements."
“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."
"When we narrow our focus, we have greater impact in those areas."
"Where there is too much, nothing stands out."
----

For some reasons, i have been in love with this philosophy and i've applied this thought on some (most) of my works. The interesting part is when i realized that 'Less is More' is also occurs in reality, in real life..

The less time you've got, the more efforts you would put,
the less spending, the more you would save.
the less something remains, the more you would appreciate,
and the less you complain, the more you would be grateful :)

...for example.
