Empty your mind, be shapeless, formless, like water.
When you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
When you put water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
When you put water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow or it can crash.
Be water my friend.
Bruce Lee
This iconic work started as a performance and then became a photographic work.
I realized this work after my best friend died.
I consider it a tribute to the constant change that life asks everyone, day by day.
