Sunday Reading : Rivers and Tides

 Hello Folks , 

             Welcome to my blog .Today i am going to write about an interesting documentory Rivers and Tides .

It's a wonderful documentary about the nature and art. In this documentary, he defines every art with a philosophical point of view. He says that, "Art for me is a form of nourishment ". Andy works with time and Time and also uses the natural environment to explore histories. 





Andy works on an icicles sculpture and after many efforts and hard work he is able to give shape to the ice but it seems temporary, it will be melted with the passage of time. In the same way the wood stupa also breaks downs. 

Here we can see that how Andy represents the process of Life and Death through Nature. The very thing that brought it to life will bring it to death. He knows that the water of river will destroy the wood stupa but still he builds it and sees it breaking. Just the way the ice sculpture melts down. Maybe he is trying to teach us patience, determination and taking risks in life. 
We can consider the pieces of ice as well as stones and wooden sticks as our dreams. We try to gather them and try to build a stable life. Maybe Andy wants to convey a message that "life is all about arranging and managing different pieces and creating a sculpture.
