Description
"Reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know." ~ Alan W. Watts "Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past." ~ Doug Horton "Toad saw that he was trapped. They understood him, they saw through him, they had got ahead of him. His pleasant dream was shattered" ~ Kenneth Grahame "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light." ~ Helen Keller
Wow, what a great response to my previous image, thanks! It is interesting to hear what all of you saw, and how you approached the image. Many of you looking at it in a very flat manner while others saw it more 3D. I am one of the later, and have to admit to seeing some sort of demon goat staring back at me, lol. I wonder what H. Rorschach would have to say about that? Here is a manipulation of another photo I took of the glass. I pushed the mirroring aspect of it to greater lengths this time to achieve what I feel is and even less representational and more abstract scene. Again, I'd love to hear what you see. Aside from myriad faces, I also see some dimensional portal leading to outer space. I know, I've got an overactive imagination! ;'P

Another fine abstract image, Kortalouie. I must admit, my eyes are going right to those four wee 'eyes' in the center. I don't know why, but I like that part the best. I think maybe, it's because of that lovely bluish color. Anyway, it's wonderful and very creative. -M :^) And ooops, I see I spelled Rorschach wrong yesterday. :^/

Very nice. For a minute thought it as a mirror image. Well done.

I always struggle with these images - guess I just don't have the correct part of my brain connected to see them :D

...I like the foreshortened look of this --- you know , Kort - you certainly acquit yourself well in what ever photograpic avenue you travel down - wouldn't be selling my camera anytime soon if I were you ! .....also -- just the other day I was noticing how many 'demonic ' like faces seem to pop up when one mirrors an image - esp an abstact -- as an agnostic leaning towards an 'unbeleiver'...it certainly throws a little monkey wrench into my belief system....why so many 'evil' looking faces ??? - is there a message in there somewhere ?

Kool one, I see the portal, but it has two face guardians and a couple of birds ! Well done & ~Cheers~ :o)

Very nice creation.
RodsArt
Almost Aztec in style. Cool

Okay, you want Rorschach, I'll give you Rorschach. The image down towards the bottom looks like a delta shaped bee or insect riding piggyback on top of a larger moth type insect with squarish wings that are swept back in front. The image at the top is more difficult to ascertain, possibly a portal as you described above leading to another dimension or universe. This is a fantastic multifaceted composition you have created here, Kort. As for unstrung's comment, you can believe in demons and still be an agnostic.

Now you got me seeing what I thought I saw in the last one. I see faces all over again and thought I had that cured, lol. Interesting work. Aloha

look like some of the art of central and South America. yes it do look like a space man too. "I come in peace" like that movie lol

The middle is definitely a transition point. I get the feeling that if I walk from where I'm standing now, at the edge of this place, I'll get smaller and smaller as I approach the center. Whatever happens there, I'll be different when I emerge on the other side, and will get larger again as I get to the far side. The center feels like a place of transformation. If I cross that barrier, nothing will ever be the same again. Yikes! It's a good thing we're all a bunch of artists here - anywhere else, they'd throw me out! Thanks for posting such a compelling and fascinating work. Really awesome stuff. I'd like to put in my vote to see this in next week's LWITG!

fabulous work in this one also...very clever! not sure about the demon goat thing though...lol
itsumama
I agree, Kort, I like the foreshortened look too. I see a lot of creepy insects and demons, upon study, but I also think this looks like a very exquisite garden patio. :o)b itsumama

And the X marks the spot for departure!

Beautiful glass abstract very nice...
nongo
It gives me the sense of being squeezed down very small as you enter the center, through the small window in time... very cool work Kort!!!!!
