Seeing 2010 (#67)

For your consideration: imagery congruent with recent excursions into surreal emotional landscapes seemingly drawn from the Twilight Zone; both speak to the concepts of perspective and time.

To followers of this blog the first tableau may seem at first to be a repeat offering -- not so: the location is the same, but here we have Act II. Depicted is a bit of Dukkha, fallout from the too frequent human interactions laced with retribution rather than the motive of loving kindness and understanding. One is left malformed, isolated and hollow, encased in layers and shells as scabs on wounds until healing is attained, and dawn seems far removed.

The second photograph is an unaltered macro perspective of a larger form which is usually regarded as a thing of beauty . . . yet this scene reveals that upon closer examination even objects of pleasure and delicacy can mistakenly appear to be frightful and forcefully armored.
