For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to highlight a pure fractal I recently created. The design conjured up feelings of entrapment in a web of restraints. Not physical, but mental and emotional.

After studying the image at length, a feeling arose of indecisiveness. No having the ability to untangle one's self from stressors, both external and internal. My decision to include a female stable diffusion image to assist in this portrayal was crucial to fill the void in the menagerie.

She emerged from the dark ? But it was nothing compared to the slender thread of sanity she grasped to prevent her descent for heaped upon her head a raging uncertainty flowed down into the crevices of her soul.

She dreamed a dream of a wayfaring world where the bottomless, murky depth spawned her shell. At its center, the tangerine light thumped intermittently

But did she possess a soul in the beginning as she strolled the obscure corridor that is life?

I sought a haunting female image to accompany my fractal. I relied upon the stable diffusion program, StarryAI to produce this image. I wasn't disappointed.

Below are my steps:

StarryAI Text input:
"Woman in black and white."

Style: Fantasy
Runtime: 50
Seed: 4409875074

StarryAI Result:

Two other images I included were another pure fractal and a free-sourced image that represented a hand holding an alien object. I envisioned this image pouring down a mysterious substance onto the female.

To bring the project together, I uploaded all images into Canva, my design program. I share my procedures in blending the images:

To a blank, white canvas, I added the pure fractal.

Switched canvas background to black, then duplicated fractal four times. Realized the beautiful void center this created.
