Contrary to the common belief that moving images help us to see change, we contend that stillness that helps us to see movement and change. Change is constituted through the relationality of the picture series. The series is a synthesis and analysis of development at once. Development is both the individual form and the series of forms – it is stasis as much as flow. locating development in the images we have created is to imagine development as a pictorial relationship. It is the relationship between the visual forms that produce both the individual stage of development and development as a whole – simultaneously and in mutual dependence (Wellmann 2017: 233).

The ‘fishness’ of the fish is maintained through the transformations; each stage bears a unique gradation of colour, repetition of the same form seen from different angles and scales, moving forwards, backwards and sideways, creating a feeling of emergence from a dark background. Klee’s watercol- our washes elevate the forms to a resonant poetry.

The essence of rhythm is the fusion of sameness and novelty; so that the whole never loses the essential unity of the pattern, while the parts exhibit the contrast arising from the novelty of their detail’ (Whitehead in Wellmann 2017: 25).

Simultaneity of images seems to be key for this representation. Current AR tech is going that way, which might help develop a new way to describe life processes and in general adopt process philosophy-based view of life. Generative AI might help too.
