A sample of my archive of Radiolarian images. Photographs made with electrons instead of light. Scans made at 2500x magnification, of 100 million year old microfossils nearly invisible to the human eye. They are windows into deep time, witness to evolution and the continuity of life, from the big bang of life (the Cambrian Explosion) to, and beyond, our eventual fall (as all empires and species do).  They are emblematic of resilience, beyond human endeavors and the entire human narrative, and therefore represent in a way a transcendence of suffering. Their smallness eclipses us, making us a speck in a universe beyond scale.
