Stuck in Moments, Macro Photography



Stuck in Moments, Macro Photography
By Xiaoyuan Yin

The indefinable elapse of time consists of numberless single threads of logics:
Vivid blue of multi-petals, flickers rising from sepals……
Within an interval between breaths, nonlinear evolvements have started in the shadow
 
(A message to you from cells: you are allowed to land here. The leaf veins and green pigments you ever set eyes upon
Are but a tiny reflection of the clouds
 
In the dead of the night, light-absorbing coat veiled in dimness,
And rivers melt into milky mist
 
(The spherical surface that has dispersed into grids, will rejoin into a plane somewhere
While bright-colored, dangerous animals slow down their eye movement—the fragrance of flowers you once smelled, freezes gradually in the air)
(Time is thinned down into translucent water waves, and plants animalized,
If a small one, among 9 hundred grids, catches fire
The entire picture falls apart)
 
A mirror image is hidden in droplets, one and no more, stayed there for an instant and no longer
--with a silvery texture and a long finish
