Just to add: The photographic aspect of this piece is centrally positioned. It's a view looking directly down on a tea-light candle in a blown-glass holder with bubbles in its sides . The hue of the shot was changed to green and contrast/brightness altered to accomodate the 'black dots' visual illusion. - Simon Bennett.
Thanks for writing Mike. I guess this appears to lean heavily towards the film 'The Matrix' and there is a known psychosis called 'Matrix Syndrome' (where the sufferer believes themselves to be living in 'The Matrix'. I entered this not to win (I don't seriously expect it to rate:) but just to demonstrate that there are paths unseen that we all travel. The black dots don't exist - they're merely an optical illusion. Colour also doesn't exist until our eyes interpret the frequencies they receive.
This is meant purely as a fun example of those two visual anomalies and a reminder that there's more to reality than meets the eye. Some people walk these paths knowingly. ;) - Simon Bennett.
An eye-catching abstract, Simon...so now we know that all of our paths are just part of the "matrix". Thanks for showing us that, Simon :) Fun and creative take on the theme. MFC
