He Weeps for You by Bill Viola is a piece that looks at two things in one. The things in this case are the microcosm and the macrocosm, or the small world and the large world. Viola zooms in on a drop of water that reflects the world around it. The small world is the drop of water, and the large world is the world that is being reflected from that drop of water. Now I will always think of the large world and small world and how the two are one when I see a drop of water.
Shanken, page 107.
