And Every Tear's a Waterfall

onion tears                    Rose-Lynn Fisher, Craig Krull Gallery
All tears, apparently, are not created equal, as proved in these black-and-white photographs by Rose-Lynn Fisher. "I started this project ... during a period of copious tears," she explains, "amid lots of change and loss ~ so I had a surplus of raw material." She had used microscopes before, to highlight the details of honeybees, and wondered what a dried tear would look like. "Eventually, I started wondering ~ would a tear of grief look any different than a tear of joy? And how would they compare to, say, an onion tear?": http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-microscopic-structures-of-dried-human-tears-180947766/?no-ist
