I always look at things and try to see something different. What is the angle or intent of the creation, is there something hidden? Is the general accepted understanding acurate or is there an underlying message meant to be seen when you look at the creation through the eyes of the artist.
So we see here looking into a crystal ball. But is it? Is it something more?
From another perspective I see not a crystal ball, but I see a void. A void expansion emanating from within as the artist tries to contain it. I notice the eyes are not looking at the “crystal ball” but at the viewer. I notice some of the shading on the hand also suggesting that the “ball” is not actually producing light but consuming it. If this were a negative of a photo the orginal image would show the “ball” as empty blackness. So as I look at this I see the Negative of an orginal photo where the artist is staring ominously as warning that the void is expanding. That in a deep layered paradox, a negative shows the darkness as light. This is what I see, but here’s to be being crazy!
