anahata.c (Mark) will be thrilled seeing this, as it looks like a map :-) What could live on such islands? :-)

helle said I'd be thrilled by this because it looks like a map---and it does. An atoll with lots of small rock-islands around it. I'm also thrilled because I love what you did with it---you made it into a nuclear radiation-tinged ameba-couple, or an infra-red photography of some cellular creatures. I'm also thrilled because I love Chinese calligraphy, and this messes around with it and turns it into a big energy-laden cell-dance. I also like the little 'islands' around the characters---maybe you got them from the nooks and crannies of the toilet paper you photographed (mostly invisible to the average eye, but a minefield of shapes and canyons to Photoshop), but whatever they came from---maybe you added them yourself---they're great microscopic additions. I love the colors and their contrasts. Wonderful play. It could actually be part of ouir 'letter' series. You may know this well (or your lodgers I imagine do), but the several major calligraphic styles of Chinese characters all go back to basic drawings, like drawings of a house w/ someone in it, or of a tree w/ a creature under it, etc. The immense stylizations that arose over centuries were by calligraphers, who were responsible for turning these glyph-like drawings into calligraphy styles for centuries to come. And of course the calligraphy was taught to children; and fine calligraphy was and is prized as an art in and of itself (with its categories of strokes, dots, etc). When I learned a little of this---just the rudiments---I was struck at the wrist position, the parallel angle to the paper, the movement of the whole upper arm, and the concision which is required to get those highly expressive strokes without 'studying' them too much. I learned quickly that if one doesn't have that 'quickness,' that natural flow, they'll produce a very studied academic stroke and get a dead, studied character rather than a vital, living one. It's very hard for a westerner. It's amazing the varieties of expression possible with a set of strokes; and I saw (as every student does) how a fine calligrapher captures the meaning of the characters via the way they articulate the characters' lines, its curves, its tapers, etc. It's an amazing art, which I was privileged to play around with for a brief time years ago...
