Fading Paradox

Fading Paradox was inspired by the majestic sunrises and sunsets here in Oregon. The magical hours full of colors that meld and fracture along the sky, kissed by wispy clouds. I find myself lost in their delicate beauty; it is as if the sky was being painted with an artist’s palette. It is a moving and ever-changing masterpiece that lives in a fleeting moment.
