Nele Acevedo makes ice sculpture, we thought that this gif of one of her installations could make an interesting contemplation for today. Take this expression used in some Buddhist countries to announce the death of a loved one as a filter for your day. What happens when you remind yourself of the impermanence of all things? It may help you find a little stillness in that mind chatter and appreciate the beauty around you here and now, like watching an ice sculpture melt. How does the melting affect you personally? If all this seems too philosophical, just visit Nele’s website and take time to contemplate some of photos from her installations. They are strangely moving.
