Zeit.

Indo-Germanic:
dā. "to divide, cut, tear apart"

or:
"You can't jump into the same river twice" (Heraclitus)

Vermeer's Milk Maid

The constant flow of time in a calm flow of milk. The jug hasn't emptied since 1658.

Francesco Furini, Lucia

the smell of skin, the taste of dismissal, flicker of candles, rustling of fabric

Lucia, the saint of light, bathing in intimate chiaroscuro - between seduction and abstinence. Her charms are obvious, in contrast to her attribute, the eyeballs.

cool air, the smell of rotting leaves, surprise, infinity, fragility

The artistic point of view of a professional hunter.
