Augmented Beauty of Diversity
Is it a lucky charm? No, it is an Ode to Fragility. Is the additional beauty sought to be given to a six-leaf clover transformed by exposure to weather phenomena, embellished with gold as an analogy of ourselves in relation to life. The environment in which we live leaves marks on us, more or less visible, what remains is that we are to be unique, as a four-leaf clover, endowed with multiple leaves that grows in a field full of three-leaf clovers; our deepest and intrinsic meaning remains unchanged despite our marks, in spite of the environment in which we grow.
The scars are an Ode to Transformation, germinal, fertile embellishing our fragilities, we are aware of our weaknesses, even though we often try to hide them.
This work reconciles with fragility and encourages flaunting it boldly, instead of hiding it. It even presumes to demonstrate that fragility, like Aristotle’s Thâuma, is at the foundation of every effort. It is at the base of history, what was it, after all, if not the awareness of one’s fragility that prompted Homo Sapiens to transform transience into transforming and evolutionary power? It is natural that fragility, or rather the awareness of it, is at the foundation of every small or large endeavor, just as this four-leaf clover that inhabits a meadow is on an individual level but also on a collective one.
People endowed with a sense of reality are at ease.
Ode to Fragility
* According to Aristotle, the Thâuma was considered something extraordinary or miraculous that went beyond human understanding or rational explanation, within the scope of his natural philosophy and his conception of the world.
