Fragiltiy



This quote expresses my interpretation of fragility: " Of delicate frame or constitution: delicate, dainty, thin, light, slight" (Tulloch 1993:92) According to Fontanna (1993:104) "Flowers are universal symbols of youth and also vitality, but because of their impermanence they also connote fragility." Fragility can be interpreted as something of transient value.



I have been exploring the following aspects of fragility and its connotations:







  1. Appearance: something that appears delicate such as a delicate translucent porcelein vase




  2. Interaction: something that has to be handled with care such as a new born baby




  3. Impermanence: something that does not last such as a flower bud
