From So Simple a Beginning…
Artist Pery Burge created this ink-in-water sequence after being inspired by Charles Darwin’s famous conclusion to On the Origin of Species.:
“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
From such a simple beginning, a drop of color upon the surface of liquid, such complex and beautiful designs develop. A simply gorgeous tribute to the beauty of evolution.
Happy Darwin Day!

WAIT TODAY IS DARWIN DAY?? AAAAAAAAAHHH Seriously this is amazing! I’m always surprised when I realize that other people aren’t completely obsessed with the concept of evolution.
