Timidity was one of a number of double exposure photographs that Brâncuși made, this one in 1954. "It is a constant joy to us" is a quote from correspondence to Brâncuși from artist and critic, Walter Pach. to It has been suggested that Pach, who owned a number of works by Brâncuși, was talking specifically of the pleasure derived from the live and daily interplay between Brancusi's sculptures and photographs. 

The two Ceramic/Hydrangea double exposures were made in my living room and back garden. In the context of these images, a constant joy might allude to photography/sculpture (plants as living scultpure?), the act of cultivating a garden or of occupying a private interior (work)space— or indeed might equally allude to joys projected, imagined, or otherwise confined to the realm of mental, rather than lived, life.
