This abstract interpretation of an Agave plant features its sun-struck distinctive yellow edges, lined with razor sharp teeth. By showing less of the plant itself, I am able to stress the teeth, which nature has provided as a survival mechanism. If we look at the teeth as teeth, the plant appears dangerous to the touch, as intended. However if we alter our perception to concentrate instead on the opposing dark spaces between the teeth, we see a dark green plant with rounded ridges against a bright yellow background. The beauty of abstract imaging is that we can prod the imaginations of our viewers into seeing our images however they may wish to see and understand them.
