Lightworks is a group of fine art photographers who meet monthly to help each other become better artists. This blog site is part of that process where members post images and provide insights about their work.
It took a little time before I saw the face, and I like that about it. Once I saw the face what struck me is that the vertical patterns make it look like the face might be behind a window with bars, with the horizontal ones toward the top being a window shade. One way of looking at it, It feels a bit claustrophobic, like the person is trapped inside, but the other way of looking at it the person is observing me from a half-hidden place.
I love the way the image invites me to explore not just the image, but how my mind interprets it, and like a lot of abstract or semi-abstract art its ambiguity invites me as a viewer to supply my own interpretation.
