Here’s a decor slice with a pinch of photo edit powered by artificial intelligence and with some shadow art. I’ve been tinkering around with Luminar AI, which is an AI-powered photo manipulation software. Love such beautiful blends achieved by the poetic sync of technology and liberal arts.
“It is in moments of shadow that illumination happens.” ― Cheyanne Ratnam
This is an illustration inspired by a product that I had designed as part of my job for an engineering application for use in an infrastructure project. Although not technically relevant, I always glance at the entire art of it. The products that I usually work on as a part of my job are not directly seen, but they’re embedded in structures that serve a larger purpose. They form parts of bridges, tunnels, offshore installations, stadiums, buildings, etc. Although not directly, there’s some sort of professional fulfillment and gratitude in working behind the scenes, invisibly for engineering projects that serve you indirectly from the roadways and tunnels you drive on to the buildings you visit, to the water you drink.
This piece of illustrative art is inpired from a recent beach trail. Thoughts have always been perceived as an imprint. More so, thoughts transformed into a plan of action would have heavier footprints and would leave trails of fruits of labor.
..“The mist after rain, uninterrupted rainfall on rooftops, pitter-patter intellect. The thoughts I leave behind like footsteps.”

This photograph would easily be one of my recent favorites in terms of framing. I was staying on a traffic lane and the car just stopped at this beautiful frame at the centre, as if this moment of click was to converge and fall in place like a click of a button or a tight latch. Although the overly done post-processing is off the roof, I just wanted it to be illuminated this way.
“To photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.”

Trying some product photography with layering effects ! : )
This work of art was inspired during a visit to Netta’s work laboratory in a university in Dubai. Although I worked on it pretty in the instant, I liked the way it turned out. From the colors and shades of the equipment to the stickers around to vibrant tones of chemicals around, it all set that mood to instigate a creative fervor. Notice the DNA shades on my tees as well. Now, this is a frame that was bound to happen right down to its finest details. I’d like to correlate this theme with something else.
Today I was listening to a generic talk and the speaker was gently enunciating that what we physically work on or dream initially forms as an abstract in our mind. Any material object that we procure or any project that we pursue would first form in our minds. So, he was saying that in order to chase dreams, first sculpt them in our minds with a deep passion and to try our best to draw in an action plan to chase it. Very interesting. Our mind is the lab of our dreams If we philosophically postulate an extension for this artwork. God bless.
Yes, back here after a short hiatus. The art used in this post is inspired by one of my favorite moving image slices I’ve ever produced. Remember “Membranes of Memories“? In a journey towards having stillness and serenity.
“Men cannot see their reflection in running water, but only in still water. Only that which is itself still can still the seekers of stillness. If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe.”
— Zhuangzi
Writing and the connection achieved by it sometimes have a transformative effect that’s often magical. It’s often how you discover your true tribe.
“Writing, if nothing else, is a bridge between two people, a bridge made of language. And language belongs to all of us. If I enjoy a poem, that just means I am recognizing within it something of myself, something I must already possess. Therefore, to love a poem is to love a part of myself revealed to me by another person…I really believe that writing is the closest thing we have to true magic. Where else, but in words, can we discover each other out of thin air?”

I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.”
