“The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.”
― René Magritte
I have a stash of raw photos I created back in 2007 using acrylic and sometimes colored ink on plastic sheets which I then illuminated from behind. The photos I took were largely unprocessed, save for a few like this which I worked on in Photoshop with various filters, and cropped out the best parts. The image above I also processed further:
turned, mirrored and texturized
size distortion of the above
and the other way around - which I used as the basis for a banner
and a polar-coordinated pixel-push
There would be many more possibilities to play with this, such as color variations and other distortions and brushes, but for now, I leave it at that.
