Intertidal Samples #12

The continuum of what we sample stretches beyond the realm of the fathomable, yet even when we extract but a single drop of water, we find within it entire ecosystems of life and interactions. It's tempting to view each drop as a world, contained beautifully by surface tensions. Yet, when given the chance, even the smallest ecosystem will naturally merge with any other body of liquid, erasing and re-writing the depth and composition of the life within. This series acts as a multitude of samples drawn from the same intertidal zone of artificial life, deceptively singular and delimited, patiently awaiting the chance to diffuse into something greater.
