I superimpose the silhouetted woman walking her dog, along with a shadow of a palm tree, upon one of the many historic Art Deco structures in Miami Beach. There are almost a thousand historic buildings here, earning it a designation as a US Historic District. I abstract this image twice over in order to convey its mood and atmosphere. I only describe a small part of the building in the background – including just enough of it to define its design by stressing the shape of its windows and how they conform to the building’s curving corner. The yellow and green colors are very important to the scene as well – they symbolize the seemingly carefree atmosphere of this touristic destination. The silhouette and the shadow are important abstractions, in that they indicate the relaxed, tropical feel of the place, but do not describe the subjects themselves. I leave much to the imagination here, and that what abstraction is really all about.
