In Buddhism annica means impermanence. This video art project explores the idea with words (from Buddhist literature, TS Eliot and Heraclitus) and with images from nature - by the sea.
Impermanent are all component things,
They arise and cease, that is their nature;
They come into being and pass away,
Their final rest is the highest bliss.
Anicca vata sankhara
Uppada vaya dhammino
Uppajjitva nirujjhanti
Tesam vapa samo sukho
Theravada Buddhists use this chant to enlighten and comfort those who have been bereaved by death of a loved one. Impermanence and change are the essence of life, death, the world and the universe. The rocks seen at the start of the video were once sand on the ocean floor. They are eroded by the waves but may be deposited as new rock formations.
