Dutch photographer Maurice Mikkers is fascinated with tears. His photos reveal the structure of tears at a molecular level. In his images we see the crystallized tears, each one different, reminding us of the uniqueness of snowflakes.

Victoria Roosenrot came across a lot of different dance styles in her life but never really found herself completely comfortable in a style, until she really found her passion: corde lisse. Corde lisse moves are normally a combination of held postures and drops using a rope that hangs from the ceiling. It requires great skill, strength, and trust to prevent a fall, as there is no safety net. At TEDxAmsterdam Victoria performed Hiraeth, an act that is part of the program “Under the TENT” by TENT circus theatre productions.
Ad Vingerhoets talks tears: "Without crying tears, we would have never become the ultra sensitive social beings that we are".

WHEN VINCENT WAS 19, he wrote his brother Theo a letter about pipe smoking. Here is a short passage of that letter:
Theo, I strongly recommend you to smoke a pipe; it is a remedy for the blues which I happen to have had now and then lately. July 1873
Theo was in London at the time.
