I wanted to share with my current collage. My theme revolves around a lonely fisherman who sets sail in his boat and encounters danger. My theme reminds me of Homer's epic adventure poem. My collage theme is the freestyle version.

The story of the water nymph unfolds as she waits for an unsuspecting fisherman. The fisherman is searching for his lost love who vanished days earlier. He's covered most of the area near the shore beyond the village where he resides.
After searching for several days, he wanders away into open waters on the opposite side of the lake in an unfamiliar landscape. There, he encounters a lovely female who promises to aid in his quest.
However, the lady is so beautiful that he forgets about his loved one and begins to worship the water nymph. Little does the fisherman realize that he's encountered a vixen whose sole purpose is to lure fishermen away from their families to serve her purposes.
He'll never return unless someone sets out to look for him. I only hope that person can rescue him in time.
In preparing my theme, two of my pure fractals are highlighted that I designed in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. The beautiful orange disk flowered fractal served as a backdrop for the female. This was meant to entice and confuse the traveler as it spinned. They lost their sense of direction. The lovely blue and green fractal served as her fins to resemble the water element.
Below are the additional images I included to complete my theme:

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, detaching elements from their backgrounds, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
