2. MURMBT_210912_27.JPG: Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya WE CONTAIN MULTITUDES (2021) This mural is part of FINDINGS, a national public art series celebrating women and science, supported by the Heising-Simons Foundation. The defining feature of an atom is the number of positively charged protons it has at its center. Dr. Ayana Arce studies these messy complex particles by colliding them at high speeds and watching their constituent particles, known as quarks, come into focus. Quarks contain a color charge which binds them to other quarks. But when a proton-proton collision is strong enough, a quark pair can split apart, sending one quark hurtling at high speeds away from the crash. Even as the quark speeds off, it is still bound to its partner through the color charge, but as the distance grows, their connection grows strained. But in the last moment, nature provides. New quarks emerge seemingly out of thin air, forming new more stable pairings with the two separated partners. There is an inherent creative and resilient spirit in these tiny entities. Like quarks, women are creative and resilient. They form close, treasured relationships with other women, and even when life pulls those partnerships apart, they adapt. They draw others into their orbit. When a community of women encounters one lost and alone, they step forward, build bridges, and spark new connections. In We Contain Multitudes, we see the quarks as women. When one woman rockets away from a collision, she encounters another one who is reaching out to meet her and hold her. While there is ambiguity in the air, new possibilities are coming into sharp relief. All around them, colorful shapes and textures represent the messiness and complexity of life and the strong relationships between women that is ultimately fundamental to society and the world.

2021 photos: This year was filled with hope. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is still with us but it was hoped that restoring sanity to the White House. the rapid vaccine role-out, and a government that finally cared would put things back to normal again. But the force was strong in the evil anti-vaxxer movement and the virus variants made quick use of that so we're still dealing with this crap. Plus the continued impact of the Trump putsch attempt... Sigh. Trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (mid-July) I made a quick trip up to Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, slightly up from 2020 but still really low.
