A BODY OF ART
“…As man is made of earth, water, air and fire, his body is the earth’s simile. Where man has bone as a support and armour for the flesh, the earth has stones as a support for the soil; where man has a pool of blood, wherein the breathing lung increases and decreases, the earth’s body has its own ocean sea, that too floods and ebbs to let the earth breathe; where blood vessels branch out from the pool of blood through the human body, likewise the ocean sea fills the earth’s body with countless vessels of water” — Leonardo da Vinci
