Momentous Occasion

Title: Momentous Occasion
Location: 2040 Bruckner Blvd.

It's more than likely you've seen a star in the sky, unless you're blind, in which case if you live in New York you aren't missing much anyway. But to see a star return home, gather all it's essences and book the trip to visit it's maker, I doubt you've come across that until now. The orange nebula in the background emanating it's glow interact with the incandescant lights of the dying star and create a range of value and complimentary colors. The diagonal lines  seem to be approaching the middle of the foreground that houses the gas giant about to implode. Abstract. A broken TV.

Reflection

Title: reflection
Location: 31-10 Thompson ave.
I call this accidental artwork Reflection. Found at LaGuardia Community College. The style is representational because it is representing an identifiable thing. There is negative space in the ring. There are some geometric shapes- circles and rectangles. Also a small amount of color. It was captured while working on a project.  A flash drive can give of a certain aspect you the owner like  a reflection depending on what is inside the flash drive .

Brain Matter & Bigger and Better

Title: brain matter.
Location: Houston St &  FDR in Manhattan
There organic shapes that forms in the inner and outer parts which makes it irregular and asymmetrical. The shapes seem to have a curving appearance. They are overlapping forms. there different shades of red that go from light to dark. The illusion of the spreading parts of the right side of the photograph. This picture l call it brain matter because out brain has lumps, curves, and very damaged areas.

Title: bigger and better.
Location: Houston St &  FDR in Manhattan
Next, this one that caught my eye because it reminded me of little kids going in front of the line and to show off that they were always the tall, better and brighter. The shapes contain triangular figures. Line that go vertical and diagonal. The value of this photograph is light in the front to the very dark one at the end.

The Water Dragon is Born

Title: The Water Dragon is Born
Location: Queens
It happened one night where I was about to get a glass of water in my house, but accidentally spilled some on the floor which formed into a serpent like animal, much like a chinese dragon. The water drops formed a geometric circular line that barely connects a whole 360 degrees. There is the illusion of 3D, if you look at the bottom of the shape the shades of dark contrasts with the opposing shades of light on the top of the shape. It is clear color, which takes the color of the wooden floor, which is brown and gives a neutral mood.

Orange-you-lonely?


Title: Orange-you-lonely?
Location: 21-12 Madison St. Ridgewood
This photograph was taken on the corner of Madison and Forest ave as I waited for the bus. The bright colored paper immediately grabbed my attention. The single brightly colored piece of paper was neatly folded almost as if someone had placed it there on purpose. Besides the bright paper the rest of the photo is monochromatic. With the rough bumpy texture of the road and the smooth surface of the street, the orange piece of paper is left there to wait until the next gust of wind directs it somewhere else.
