The Drop

I want to explore the turning point itself without giving it any emotional meaning — simply the moment when something small transforms into something much bigger because of a single drop.

For example, when the first tear appears on someone’s face, the tone of a conversation immediately changes. Or a seemingly insignificant event completes a feeling of happiness and makes someone decide to start a family. Just like the cherry on top is what somehow makes the cake complete.

In the same way, a single drop can completely heal a person — or kill them.

Drops inside. Rain or tears.

But as soon as the drops stop falling, an almost velvety calm settles in, and if we’re lucky, we might even see a rainbow.

In Slavic languages, there is also an expression, “the last drop,” meaning the moment when patience has run out and change is about to follow.  Street art

But after the last drop, a drop of hope appears.

And then come drops of joy and playfulness.
