Meleha Ahmad #2: Diatoms


This is a larger colored version of a black and white picture that I found a few years ago in a dictionary, under the term “Diatoms.” Diatoms are a group of unicellular organisms belonging to the Kingdom, Protoctista. They originate from the early Jurassic Period. I think that diatoms are the perfect proof that art is natural, that it comes from a higher power. Although this picture is slightly blurry, it is clear that each diatom has its own beauty, with a design so intricate that not even an electron microscope can capture. I also think that just the way each diatom is separate from each other, but exists in a colony like this one, every person is separate from the other, but somehow must coexist with the other in order to prosper.
