Upon My Daughter (2010)

GAZELLE SAMIZAY 

"In Upon My Daughter several women collectively embroider the wedding dress of a young bride as she wears it. Each thread and stitch symbolizes one piece of advice the young bride is given. Individually, the threads are very delicate, but amassed together their strength becomes visible, symbolizing the powerful, yet complicated bonds between the women in this family."

Robot, by Jim Henson

"Begin subject: MAN AND THE MACHINE.   The machine possesses supreme intelligence, A faultless memory And a beautiful soul. Correction: The machine does not have a soul. It has no bothersome emotions. While mere mortals Wallow in a sea of emotionalism The machine is busy digesting Vast oceans of information In a single all-encompassing gulp."

Petra. 

Greek for "stone."  

Ichor, the golden fluid that coursed through the veins of ancient Greek gods. 

Petrichor, the smell of rain on dry earth.

What causes it? 

   "When a raindrop hits a porous surface, it traps tiny air bubbles at the point of contact. As in a glass of champagne, the bubbles then shoot upward, ultimately bursting from the drop in a fizz of aerosols." —(source, MIT)
