PORTRAITS OF RESILIENCE [🦠] Our ability to change, overcome, recover and bounce back from stress and trauma is often described as resilience. It is a form of human strength. [🦠] We are described as someone’s rock when we support, protect and stand solidly with them against adversity. [🦠] Although considered as strong and unmovable, rocks also have the ability to adapt to changes in their environment and the forces acting upon them. They fracture, soften, flow and melt, and, throughout Earth’s geologically history they have rebounded after being buried beneath ice caps. This continues today. [🦠] No matter that COVID, and every hardship it has exacerbated, has eroded our resilience, we will continue to adapt and stand together against this and future adversities. [🦠] These three images are part of the AGO’s Online exhibit, Portraits of Resilience. The over 3,000 submissions are truly worth viewing. #portraitsAGO @AGOTORONTO [🦠] . . . . . #addictionawareness #affinitybyserif #creativephotography #earthinspiredart #geology #geologymeetsart #geopoetics #harmreduction #healing #human #mentalhealth #mindfulness #naturephotography #photooftheday #portraitsAGO #psyche #psychologicalwellbeing #resilience #rocks #science #stress #unique [🦠] Discover your connectivity with the natural world around you [🦠] @artisticrocktextures [🦠] Visualizing our affinity with nature [🦠] Portrait sales supporting [🦠] Heart and Stroke Research https://www.heartandstroke.ca/ [🦠] and Mental Health [🦠] https://www.breakawayaddictions.ca [🦠] CREDITS [🦠] Graphics/Photography [🦠] @artisticrocktextures [🦠] ©️ArtisticRockTextures Andy Abraham2021 [🦠] Toronto, Canada [🦠] All rights reserved [🦠] DM for repost permissions (at Art Gallery of Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHFdluNOj-/?utm_medium=tumblr
