Water, ice, and snowflakes—visual metaphors allude to a romantic narrative.  Ernest Shackleton’s ship The Endurance trapped in the ice during his ill-fated adventure in Antarctica.  Exquisitely intricate hand-made lace from late 16th C Italy.  A turn-of-the-century photograph of a snowflake by Wilson Bentley.  Thin ice on the Kennebec River breaking up along the shoreline. 

 “When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind.”
