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!
