The Epiphany

On the back of my building is the exact formation of what I am talking about in visual form! I did not see it until walking home from campus (my short cut route) and I might not have seen it unless if I wasn't up for some discovery and a quicker way home. Yet heading home I knew I was going to discover something about my work. And there it was. Behind my building this entire time formulating itself into its being.

Why this intrigues me so much, or how it connects to me (beyond the white project), is that its structure is something that is  falling apart (melting), it is becoming (ice), it will no longer be what it used to (snow), yet what lies behind will soon be what it once was (a brick wall), but not for sometime because it is snowing, again. The snow will cover the skeletal structure that is holding it up allowing only a white blanket to be shown. In some cases the growth over an object can be so damaging that the growth consumes it to a degree that the core subject is no longer recognizable. It is only known to be the overgrowth. Which in time can even damage itself. Deteriorating what it is holding onto while it deteriorates itself.
