Seeing 2010 (#164)

For your consideration: an abstract expression, layers accentuated by processing with amplified contrast.

Incongruities abound in this tableau: the general thrust of motion seems to be downward, yet the background texture and tone create confusion regarding depth -- combined with the hourglass gap and one finds a sense of rising instead.

Then of course is the main subject and thesis: emptiness and darkness are the substrata informing illumination.
