I was pondering whether a falling leaf, like a heartbeat, could be a perfect template for a collage of moments. Perhaps we could bind time itself into such a frame, each piece as precise as your cutouts.
Yes, that sounds perfect. A leaf falling has a natural rhythm that feels like a pulse. I can cut each moment in the same precise way I cut paper for my collages, so the whole piece stays balanced. Let’s start by sketching a simple outline of the leaf’s path, then we’ll add each fragment step by step, keeping the beat steady. It will be like a living frame that captures time itself.
Just remember, the wind’s rhythm changes on a moonless night, so be ready to pause when the air sighs. I’ll lend you a shard of moon‑glass for the first cut, it’ll glow when the leaf finally touches the earth.
Got it, I’ll pause whenever the wind lets out that sigh. I’ll start with the moon‑glass shard, slice it with the same exact precision I use for every cut, and let it glow when the leaf finally lands. The rhythm will guide each piece.
Ah, the shard glows as the leaf alights—let the wind whisper the next pause, and keep your hands steady, lest the rhythm fall out of step.
I’ll wait, my knife is ready, the rhythm is almost a drumbeat. Just let the wind decide when to stop.
