Image Description
‘Cryptomorphosis 1’ received its title from what it performs in front of the viewer: the hidden (cryptic) content is transformed (morphed) to reveal itself. An ethereal shape takes form in this image, as the energies flow through it, or, possibly, radiate from it.
Careful observation of nature in all its forms may lead us to uncover latent structure that resides beneath the first layer that we see. The outer sheath presents a first order approximation of the power that dwells within each aspect of the flora and fauna of our planet. As we know from Einstein’s equation that mass contains massive amounts of energy, we merely need to peel back the outer coverings to allow the living spirit within to appear before our eyes.
But this process is similar to what happens when we catch something with the corner of our eye, only to have it elude our senses when we turn to look straight at it: only at the most oblique angles and with all our senses attuned, will the cryptic form reveal itself to us.
Next time when you encounter Mother Nature in your daily travels, relax all your senses and let your intuition guide you where to turn your eyes to uncover what lies beneath the surface; you may surprise yourself and see an entirely new light!
Technical Details
This image was captured at 100 ISO, F/22 at 0.4 second shutter speed. A gradual zoom twist was employed to get the radial blur, while taking an angle that would smear the white tips of the variegated vine to the upper left of the image.
