October 16, 1793, digital photography manipulation, 10.5 x 7.5in, (26.67 x 19.05cm), $200.00 framed Although this an abstract composition, I saw a rich brocade and lace fabric with intricate embroidery. I shifted the hue to red. The top half of the image is still somewhat haute couture but the lower area of chaotic lines and exploding shapes suggested a scenario far removed from pomp and grandeur. I was looking for a title that would explain the duality of privilege and violence. Someone came immediately to mind. The title, October 16, 1793, is the date of Marie Antoinette's execution.

A very abstracted face, ghoulish in its deformity, is open-mouthed. Whether to eat or scream is the question.
From Dante's Inferno:

other shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice.”

Digital photography and digital manipulation can reveal details the human eye is unable to perceive. The depth of this hidden detail is tremendous and always surprising, being composed of more color, more line and more shape, seemingly unrelated to the subject. The dots, lines and shapes in this image originated in an image of a slowly flowing brook.

Porphyra
Porphyra is a coldwater seaweed that grows in cold, shallow seawater. The marine red alga Porphyra has been cultivated extensively in many Asian countries as an edible seaweed used to wrap the rice and fish that compose the Japanese food sushi, and the Korean food gimbap. Here is my interpretation.
