About “Fanal Forest, Madeira” and Stefano Balma

“Sharing through photographs is an amplifier of emotions and knowledge and enriches others as much as myself. I also believe my passion for science and philosophy plays a part in my interest in photography and in the joy I find in sharing my perspective of life. I’ve always loved philosophy, but what has had the most influence on my thinking is Ancient Buddhism.

In my short photographic career, the messages I love to spread the most are the concepts of cyclicality and ambiguity. The uncertain flow of life is for me the essence of life itself, and I believe this flow is Aion; eternal, never-ending, cyclic, as is the life of the cosmos. It’s in the changing and in the flow that the greatest treasures of life are found. Nature is impermanent (all single items have a beginning and an end) and interdependent (existence is a single flow where current statuses are present due to causes and conditions). Life is a flowing river – where all things are as indissolubly connected as drops are to water. We, of course, are part of this flow – we are the drops of this river.”
