The sinuous path of light, 2021
Alt Text: Abstract ICM photograph of a red Calla Lily; a dynamic, curvilinear sweep of crimson and orange against a deep teal and green background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: High contrast, complimentary colors drive the visual energy, creating a richly-saturated atmosphere.
Visual Flow: The composition is centered on a large, organic curvilinear shape. The movement distorts the subject into fluid forms made of opaque sweeps of rich crimson and fiery orange, flowing diagonally from the top-center through the center toward the bottom-right.
Texture & Detail: Shot in high-contrast, direct sunlight, the image features a striking rhythmic element: sharp, horizontal banding along the left edge. This geometric interference creates a sophisticated counterpoint to the organic, flowing shapes of the floral subject. The velvety texture of a Calla Lily peeks through at the center of the frame where the focus is most defined.
Color Palette: A high-contrast study of opposites; fiery reds and sun-drenched oranges overlay a cool, receding background of moss green and deep blue-green.
A spill of blue, 2020
Alt Text: Abstract ethereal ICM photograph; graceful, translucent sweeps of rich blue, pale mauve, and muted green curve diagonally across the frame.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Inverted coloration and motion combine to transform light into a non-representational composition. This piece has an ethereal, almost gossamer translucency.
Visual Flow: The primary composition consists of large, overlapping triangular "swooshes" that curve gracefully from the upper-left to the lower-right. These forms appear like delicate, translucent brushstrokes, reminiscent of calligraphy and ink paintings.
Texture & Detail: Embedded subtly at the point of convergence in the lower right quadrant is a distinct, partially visible heptagonal shape. This rigid form offers a faint, surprising contrast to the fluid, sweeping motion surrounding it.
Color Palette: The composition is anchored by washes of rich, saturated blue. These are contrasted by soft pastel tones of barely-there mauve and muted forest-to-olive greens. A delicate accent of pale pastel yellow highlights the heptagonal form.
circumvolute, 2022
Alt Text: Abstract ICM photograph of mixed foliage; rich jewel tones in cranberry, teal and green spiral across the frame suggesting the plumage of a bird, partially obscured by a larger, creamy-pink, wing-like structure.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere & Aesthetics: The image has a lush, opulent atmosphere, characterized by dense layers of color and texture against a dark background, and centralized around a counter-clockwise, spiral motion.
Visual Flow: The image is structured around a dominant, large arced form that functions as a foreground veil, "the wing.” This veil emerges from the center and moves towards down and left, forming the bottom half of a counter-clockwise spiral, comprised of white and pink tones and distinct, structural arcing lines. Peeking from behind this dominant structure in the upper third is a condensed area of bold color blending into the edges of the veiled portion, which completes overall spiral composition.
Texture & Detail: The central kinetic motion is a condensed, rich spiral. Within this movement, the soft yet defined texture of layered petals is palpable in the creamy white arcing lines. In the upper third, short dashes of concentrated color create a sense of hidden structure.
Color Palette: A deeply saturated, rich palette. Cranberry reds, deep teals, and accents of forest green are concentrated in the upper third and repeated subtly in the lower third, contrasted by the smooth, dominant expanses of creamy white with pink undertones.
Follow the sun like flowers do, 2023
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph of yellow Alstroemeria; a bright, kinetic burst of floral forms radiating outward against a soft, sun-drenched background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: The strong, direct sunlight creates a bright, airy, and high-key atmosphere with a sense of sun-drenched warmth.
Visual Flow: The movement follows along the Z-axis, creating a kinetic effect that radiates outward. The overall composition holds a diagonal visual weight, flowing from the top-right to the bottom-left.
Texture & Detail: The petal textures are painterly and soft, yet clear enough to reveal specific details like spot patterns. While the center of the burst is more sharply defined, the distant floral edges blur into one another, creating depth from degrees of abstraction.
Color Palette: A vibrant, luminous palette dominated by yellows, with splashes of magenta and anchored by cool green. These tones are layered over a lighter, glowing background, creating an ethereal, semi-translucent quality without sacrificing depth.
floral color field, 2021
Alt Text: Abstract ICM photograph featuring long, fluid, S-shaped curves of pink, purple, yellow, and green flowing vertically against a deep, dark background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The lighting—a dual-source setup from opposing corners—creates a sophisticated, high-contrast atmosphere that balances luminous color transitions against a deep, moody void.
Visual Flow: The composition is defined by long, sweeping, S-shaped curves that flow vertically from top to bottom. These organic, repetitive forms suggest the elongated structure of petals and leaves moving in a rhythmic, continuous motion.
Texture & Detail: The textures are characterized by fluid interplays of color, where the boundaries between shapes merge and dissolve. Despite the softness of the motion, the rhythmic repetition of the shapes provides a structural, almost sculptural, presence.
Color Palette: A vibrant, transitional gradient. The top of the frame is dominated by cool, rich pinks and hints of purple, which gracefully shift and flow downward into luminous yellows and light greens, all set against a moody background.
Autumn flower, 2020
Alt Text: Impressionist photograph of a single flower; a rich, creamy, and layered composition with a bold yellow center, pink-and-white petals, and a sweeping yellow arc against a deep green background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), the atmosphere is lush, rich, and creamy, emphasizing the tactile quality of the floral subject against a moody, green background.
Visual Flow: The composition is radial, with stacked, circular layers of petals surrounding the center. A distinct midground feature—a sweeping yellow arc—curves from the right to the left in the upper third, adding a dynamic, feathered, fan-like motion that breaks the circular symmetry.
Texture & Detail: The image balances recognizable detail with painterly blur. The central yellow core provides a crisp anchor point, while the pink petals, tipped with bright white, transition into softer, creamier textures. The layering creates a genuine sense of depth, as if the petals are radiating outward in a rhythmic, organic sequence.
Color Palette: A vibrant, high-contrast study. The bold yellow center is complemented by the pink-and-white tonal shifts of the petals, all set against a more subdued, green background that makes the warm tones pop.
Tulips dancing, 2021
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph of a bouquet of tulips; a rhythmic, semi-translucent sweep of pinks and greens suggesting a group dancing together.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens, the light-on-dark setup, combined with the translucency of the petals, creates a muted, sophisticated atmosphere where the colors appear to softly merge and bleed into one another.
Visual Flow: The motion is organic, with tulips curving across the frame like figures in a graceful, rhythmic dance. Each individual floral form exhibits it’s own graceful movement, coalescing into a higher-level visual order, that swirls across the frame.
Texture & Detail: The forms are semi-translucent and layered, creating a visceral sense of motion. As the colors drag across the canvas, the details of the pink tulip heads and green stems soften into elegant, painterly streaks, emphasizing the fluidity of the composition.
Color Palette: A cohesive, harmonious palette of soft pinks and greens. Because of the layering and the dark base, the tones are desaturated and elegant, creating a moody, atmospheric blend.
Tulip in bloom, 2022
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph; a deconstructed heritage tulip with floating, vibrant pink-and-green segments suspended against a deep black void.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The high-contrast, small-aperture lighting produces a dramatic, high-key atmosphere where the floral subject appears to hover in a deep, absolute-black void.
Visual Flow: The composition is modular and non-continuous. The eye is guided by a dominant central form—the tulip head and upper stem—while two independent, graceful leaf sweeps in the lower third curve inward. The image relies on the principle of Gestalt, as the eye instinctively bridges the negative space to connect the floating floral crown to the distant leaves.
Texture & Detail: The heritage bloom’s feathered, curled edges are rendered as organic, rippled blooms of color. Three distinct petal segments suggest the structure of the tulip head, while the lower foliage sweeps provide a secondary structural anchor.
Color Palette: A vibrant, luminous display of bright pinks and sharp greens. These organic tones are isolated against a stark, light-absorbing black background, intensifying the drama and clarity of each individual fragment.
portrait of a tulip, 2021
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph of a soft-focus tulip; the pink-and-stamen central subject is framed by abstract green leaf-sweeps against a mid-blue background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). The image possesses a subtle radiance, characterized by a deliberate, low-contrast softness and diffused, but luminous lighting.
Visual Flow: The flower acts as the central anchor of the composition. Below the subject, abstract green sweeps arc from right to left, acting as a lower frame that grounds the portrait and directs the eye toward the center.
Texture & Detail: The composition prioritizes soft, painterly blur over sharp definition. However, the internal contrast between the bold, central stamens and the surrounding light-pink petals remains a clear, tactile focal point. The leaf textures are suggested through fluid, arcing strokes that imply movement without fine detail.
Color Palette: A balanced, harmonious palette. The light pink of the petals and the bold contrast of the stamens are set against a calm, mid-blue background. The interplay with the lush green leaf-sweeps provides a classic, grounded color balance.
Dancing Daisy, 2021
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph of an orange daisy; a high-energy, radially blurred close-up featuring sharp detail in the center that transitions into rhythmic, layered arcs against a saturated blue background.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The atmosphere is kinetic and vibrant, defined by a deliberate, back-and-forth arc motion that gives the flower an almost humming, vibrational intensity.
Visual Flow: The composition is radial and centrifugal. The daisy dominates the frame, extending beyond the edges in an extreme close-up. The visual energy radiates outward from the center, with layered arcs rotating in slightly different cadences, creating a sense of rhythmic, pulsating motion.
Texture & Detail: The image balances sharp structural detail with impressionist blur. The center of the daisy remains focused and textured, while the petals soften as they extend, creating a transition from physical clarity to fluid, painterly abstraction.
Color Palette: A bold, high-contrast study in complementary colors. The warm, luminous oranges and yellows of the daisy are set against a saturated blue background, which makes the radial motion feel even more energetic and electric.
Violet Light, 2020
Alt Text: Abstract ICM photograph; a sweeping, organic movement of vibrant violet, rich green, and yellow, flowing diagonally across the frame and anchored by deep purple.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The atmosphere is vibrant and sculptural, defined by a bold, saturated color interplay that suggests structure and flow.
Visual Flow: The composition follows a strong diagonal path from the top-left to the bottom-right. The movement is organic and curvilinear, with the shapes "dancing" across the canvas in a singular, cohesive drift from left to right.
Texture & Detail: The textures are characterized by painterly washes of color that merge and bleed into one another. The composition is visually anchored on the far right by a deep, dark purple that provides a heavy visual "stop," grounding the lighter, more vibrant colors that lead the eye across the frame.
Color Palette: A rich, high-energy palette. The vibrant violet and lush, deep greens are punctuated by a singular dash of yellow, creating a dynamic contrast. The deep purple anchor acts as a dark, moody foundation, allowing the brighter hues to pop against the negative space.
all memories fade with time, 2022
Alt Text: Impressionist ICM photograph; a central pink flower radiates outward in a clockwise motion, dissolving into muted streaks of desaturated green and purple.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The atmosphere is quiet, contemplative, and subdued—evoking the palest shades of emotion. The image’s conceptual weight emerged during the editing process: as the radial motion causes the floral form to lose its definition, the resulting dissolution of color and shape naturally suggested the title "All memories fade with time."
Visual Flow: The motion is clockwise and radial, radiating from the center outward. The flower dominates the foreground, but its form is fleeting; as the eye moves toward the edges, the shape of the petals gives way to rhythmic, circular streaks that dissolve into the background.
Texture & Detail: The texture is painterly and ephemeral. The center of the pink flower maintains a degree of structural integrity, which progressively breaks down as it spirals outward, emphasizing a transition from substance to suggestion.
Color Palette: A deeply muted, desaturated palette. Soft, faded pinks are anchored by pale, dusty greens and hints of hushed purple. The lack of high-contrast saturation creates a nostalgic, melancholic tonal range.
Euphoria in pink, 2023
Alt Text: Abstract ICM photograph; a frenetic, high-energy explosion of electric pinks and bright whites cascading downward against a layered backdrop of muted blue-greens and a hint of deep black.
Detailed Description:
Atmosphere: Created using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a 50mm equivalent prime lens. The atmosphere is explosive and kinetic. It captures a state of "frenetic vibration," where the light appears to be discharging across the frame rather than tracing a singular path.
Visual Flow: There is no single dominant shape; instead, the energy cascades from the top of the frame, dancing and branching downward. The motion is reminiscent of "lightning fractals"—a rapid, chaotic descent that defies structural consistency and emphasizes raw, pulsating movement.
Texture & Detail: The image is built upon stacked layers of tone. The bright whites and electric pinks sit atop a moody foundation of muted blue-greens, which eventually bleed into a deep black. This layering gives the work a sense of depth and density, as if the light is tearing through space.
Color Palette: The high-voltage, electric pinks and whites provide an intense visual "jolt," which is grounded by the cooler, darker hues of the background.
