I recently heard a passage from an old writing, "The swan is a pure and graceful animal, its feathers are white as snow and its life is short. "For it embodies the impermanence of beautiful things." This short, ancient passage from a writing about swans caught my eye, even though the swan I have immortalized in the photograph is black. I've often thought that life and the things we experience have their magic precisely because of their impermanence. That's why we so enjoy the rose blossoms that will soon pass, the sun's rays because they will disappear behind the clouds again, the sunsets because night will soon come. Each moment becomes unique...
The black swan in the photograph can also remind us that we often don't see things as they are. From ancient times until the 17th century, people thought that only white swans existed, and even used the term white swan as a synonym for things that are obvious and clear. Black swans are thus a constant reminder that things are often different than they appear.
