How to catch a drop of water?

My "research" on How to Catch a Drop of Water focuses entirely on the process, the desire for knowledge. The working process of looking for unique, often elusive certainties. It is as if we are conditioned by a hunch, a hunch as an analogy of desire, "We don't know - we only hunch and conjecture the meaning and purpose of what is sought and found" (Václav Cigler). But how to catch something that cannot be caught? It cannot be grasped firmly in the palm of the hand... it just flows through our fingers...

On this journey of discovery, I consciously imprinted my emotion into a drop of water. An emotion that changes and looks different every time.

It's a tear.

In this process, I see tears as a medium, the most unified language. They are the evidence and witness that our inner life transcends its boundaries and spills over into consciousness. In contrast, the shedding of tears is as if each single tear carries a microcosm of the collective human experience, like each single drop in the ocean.
