Crimson Blossom
DESCRIPTION
Crimson Blossom is a dramatic, high-angle study of texture and emergence. The subject appears to blossom from a swirling, infinite expanse of deep red, layered fabric—a visual metaphor for intense emotion or a singular focus. The hypnotic concentric circles draw the eye down to the delicate, stylized face, which is the serene 'bloom' at the core of the turbulent visual field. This piece examines the breathtaking contrast between stillness and saturation, and the power of a subject to emerge, defined, from its overwhelming environment. AUTHOR
