By closely observing nature’s continuous cycles, we begin to understand the fluidity of colour over time — from the vibrant energy of emerging seeds to the quiet return of withered forms to the earth. Just as the forest weathers with grace, and rocks and minerals transform through decay, their colours shift — altered by light, by time, by exposure. Even the invisible, like bacteria, respond to stimuli in ways that generate new interactions, influencing and modifying their environments in subtle, chromatic ways. Whether over the course of a day, a season, or a century, nature’s timeline reveals the ephemeral nature of colour — a constantly evolving spectrum shaped by change, erosion, and renewal. Within this impermanence lies endless variation: new hues, new tones, new combinations. Together, they form a living palette — a testament to colour’s deep connection to the passing of time and the poetic transformation of the natural world.
