I'm Melting!! I'm Melting!! ~~ Surreal Still Life
Too hot not to cool down... Cole Porter
What is this surreal image? It was fun to create
Is it an orange pumpkin "Smilie"in the style of Mad Magazine?
Or could it be
Black Body Radiation through the little peek hole of an oven?...;))
Do you remember in physics lab, measuring the spectral distribution of the light inside an oven... If this were an oven, it looks like the temperature of the walls is about 5000 degrees Kelvin...
No, it's not really an the light emanating from a very very hot oven.
Could it be the pumpkin carried by the Headless Horseman at Halloween?
No no no!
There are two possibilities:
1. It's a surreal design formed by a multicolor place mat, refracted through three small nested glass bowls or ramekins, and illuminated by a single overhead tungsten filament lamp bulb...
2. It's a surreal design formed by a multicolor place mat, refracted through a shot glass, and illuminated by a single overhead tungsten filament lamp
According to my notes, Possibility 2. is the correct choice...;))
It's a cute decoration to hang in a booth aka sukkah during Sukkot or The Feast of Tabernacles...;))
