I have that problem too. sometimes I get carried away with the effects and eventually there's no message in the picture. But this has powerful emotion behind it and, yes those cool effects.

... this one got my soul! xzllent!

The meaning, believe, it's there. At least for females. I think all of us felt that shatter and silent pain at times in our lives. I am not saying males don't, but that's a very feminine speaking picture. Awesoem work. :) (You post what you make.. I am sure we can appreciate also what you think has no meaning :))

I like the pic very much!! Keep it up It's the same stile as the images i'm making, and I have the same problem as you :)

Beautifully done!!!

I really like this image, but it always disturbs me when you erase women's mouths. To me it's as if your making a statement that women are not allowed to speak, they are only there to look at. In this picture it is diffrent though (especially with the title), it is like gallimel said more a feminist statement. I see this women in a state of heplessness and sorrow, muted by oppression. You say this picture has no meaning, but from a woman's standpoint it is a very powerful work. I really like it, and I would really like to bring a copy of it to my art class today for discussion. Excellent!!!

This is one strong image and the title is perfect because the meaning lies with the viewer! Thanks for posting!

The fact that I erase mouthes a lot has nothing to do with me being a supposed misogynist ;) It's just that erasing a mouth looks very graphic and non human. Same goes for me erasing eyebrows, noses, eyes or whatever. The fact that I mostly portray women is out of admiration and basically an endless resource: internet.

What hyperborea said - dito -

Interesting how you started off with no real meaning behind it but the meaning is read into it never-the-less...that's one of the truly amazing things about art is it's ability to transform itself according to perception and that is vital for the growth and development of any visual langauge. I'ts great that different people respond differently to works...that's what it's all about. Good work.

What came first, the hen or the egg? You cannot create without a meaning, even if it is not concious at the moment of creating. The deep meaning lies in communicating you to others and they responding to you. I work mostly the same way as you describe, and I gradually experience the meaning in what I do, often in cooperation with them who react on my images.But I never think that what I do lacks meaning and neither should you. Excellent image!

In my opinion, u have not to think before makeing art. most of the stuff u want to tell (or better ur subconscience wnats to tell) will be expressed while making such wonderfull stuff like u are able to. it is really fantastic! Your style has a cutting edge!

Such an excellent piece... impossible to comment further. Keep it up!

often times the pieces that convery meaning the most articuatly is when you are not consciencly thinking about it and the meaning comes through unfiltered.
