Highlights and Shadows Four

This is the fourth in a series of fourteen still life photographs presenting Highlights and Shadows on a textured hallway wall. Thank you for asking, but no I was not bored when this caught my attention. There have been several, possibly anecdotal, reports that the fourth image in a series or the fourth joke in a monologue or the fourth point in a lecture are the least likely to prompt a response. This is the fourth in the series of fourteen visual artworks in this presentation. Look closely. What do you think you see?

"Our physical eyes tell us what we see; our thoughts tell us what we think we see – and these can be opposing forces in the creative process. However, while our physical eyes give us accurate and detailed information, our inner eyes – or the eyes of the imagination – embellish the information given by the physical eyes. The symbiotic duet of sighting results in visual and imaginative expression…and has nothing to do with the thought process alone."[1]
