Nature conceals its knowledge from our senses but reveals its power in ways that are at times destructive and, at other times, delicate. As humans we seek the essential character of things – animals, plants, rocks, rivers and weather systems – in an attempt to uncover nature and understand ourselves and the world around us. Yet humans are a part of nature; part of a larger natural organism. For all living things are connected to one another to form a ‘global body’ where boundaries dissolve or become inundated*. However, each creature’s senses are different, depending on the survival instinct, therefore reality is perceived as multiple and mutable, fragmented and limited. Even the human mind has the ability to hide the truth from itself; from our true nature (except when dreaming). This paradoxical behaviour was of course famously summoned by Heraclitus when he ventured: Nature loves to hide.
