A Soul of Words




In my History of Psych class, we've been reading about early science-philosophers who searched to find a physis: the element which composes life.

Heraclitus said fire. Thales said water. Hippocrates described four humors. Democritus proposed the atom.

But I think Jaume Plensa, contemporary Spanish sculptor whose work is displayed at the Frederik Meijer Gardens, is the closest.

What is life?

Words.
