Surface Tension

Plants adapt to serve their biological imperative: survival. Lucky for us, plants evolve in remarkable colors and textures and patterns and forms. These small landscapes explore the surfaces of ordinary plants from the desert, forest, tropics and gardens.

Surface tension describes the cohesive force between liquid molecules in which the exposed surface tends to contract to the smallest possible area. Think water droplet.  Surface tension also describes the relationship we have with the planet. Frankly, we could borrow a tip from the water droplet and take up a little less space; cause a little less surface tension.
