A VISUAL MELODY
Dr. Sanjiva Dev
The grey shadows at the floating clouds crawl, in rhythm and tune, across the achre rocks like the rushing waves over the golden sands creating a visual melody. The rocks are static, the waves kinetic moving from rock to rock. This static - kinetic view has created the impression of the harmony of sound and silence! It is more a fleeting phenomenon that would vanish into the void along with the complete disappearance of the evanescent sun in the West. After the disappearance of the sun’s glow would appear the nocturnal gloom rendering the shadows invisible. I attempted to perpetuate fleeting spectacle on paper in line and tone but failed to do so; it did only remain an unexecuted picture, bereft of line and tone, upon the empty surface of my sensitive psyche. It is a psychical expression of a physical impression; an intangible nounmenon of a tangible phenomenon!!
