Glass Shadows
abstract 2021-12-02T06-55
Contemplating Schrodinger, observation and existence, in a 'glass box'.
The image used Red, Blue, Green and Yellow LED's from holiday string lights, shined through a textured glass plate, an old TV projection lens, a 6" water globe on a glass candle stick and a 4" glass sphere also on a glass candlestick.
The LED string lights are refracted through the glass plate, the projection lens, and the water globe, all off screen, before the final refraction in the glass sphere seen on screen.
The glass sphere reflects the water globe (center left) and incoming light (far left), and refracts light reflected back from the canvas (right), while also reflecting the canvas (upper right). All against a dark and magnified canvas background seen through the glass sphere.
Glass Shadows images are created shining LED holiday string lights through glass and crystal onto a canvas, then captured using Focus Stacking and HDR, ending with a final manual global editing in a photo editor.
