Honey and ants
A few months ago I was working with honey. While I was photographing and recording it a drop fell on the kitchen table. Ants came right away and remained around the drop for quite a while. Some of them jumped into the honey, overwhelmed with thrill and died buried in it. I like to imagine the feeling that the ants must have had tasting that small amount of honey, for us insignificant. I suppose it’s a good metaphor for those situations in life, for example, accidents, that, at another level or from another perspective, can trigger something positive, or at least a sweet effect.
