Between Yesterday and TomorrowMy dear past self,

I know 2008 doesn't seem like a good year to you. I can still feel your pain - my pain - and your growing mistrust.
The world isn't always a nice place, I won't deny that. You've tasted its bitterness many times over the past eight years: envy has brought you enemies, forced you to grow up to unbearable extents for a child; even that glimmer of hope and friendly affection you received back at 11 has died out, and your isolation grew with you as well.
You haven't been so lucky up to now. Both the male and female population have shown their worst to you. Boys have beaten you, girls have mocked you, everyone has isolated yo

Digital Art / Fractal Art / Raw Fractals

Ultra Fractal 5.04

*** Prints made with a 3000x2000 size render *** For a higher-sized or higher-resolution print, please contact me ***

This fractal is part of my Project: Essentialities series, an ensemble of six conceptual works with Japanese names. The name "Essentialities" refers both to their minimalistic appearance (monochrome with a hint of colour) and to their intrinsic meaning: each of this series' fractals represents an essentiality, that is to say, a very relevant element of every human soul, or for every human life.

There's a sub-trilogy in this series, called the Trilogy of Life, which includes the three cardinal elements of the human being - spirit, consciousness, and heart. Each of those three elements comes with a primary colour: blue, yellow and red respectively.
The other three elements belonging to the series but not to this sub-trilogy focus on the secondary colours: green, purple, and orange, respectively representing truth, expression and feeling; their colours are not random: each of them is the offspring of two out of three elements from the Trilogy of Life. Truth is born from spirit and consciousness; expression is born from spirit and heart; feeling is born from consciousness and heart.

This is the series' sixth (and last) fractal, Kibun (きぶん, "Feeling").

Well, I finally finished it. It was kinda like completing a philosophic essay, from my point of view. I hope you all liked them.

It was nice how you made it in several diffrentcolors.

*heavenriver Feb 27, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yup, it's a conceptual series. Every colour represents something different from the others.

!midorisumataro Feb 27, 2011 Student Artisan Crafter

Exelent! Most people don't put that much thought into their work.

*heavenriver Feb 27, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I usually do, but this was actually an exception. Mainly, I'd focus on the style and composition. It's worth as much as a concept if it's well done, I think.

!midorisumataro Feb 27, 2011 Student Artisan Crafter

I like the swirly vines. Do they reperesent anytihng special?

*heavenriver Feb 27, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Details don't have a particular meaning. The concept is more focused on the colour and flow of each piece. So the way the swirls go, or their peculiarity, don't do much on their own to the concept; the ensemble does.
Thanks for asking

Your welcome, I was just wondering. It's very refined and quite spectacular.

~freaks173 Feb 10, 2011 Hobbyist

I just faved this whole series. Simple but beautiful. Very nice.

*heavenriver Feb 11, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you very much, I bet everything on simplicity and I'm glad it worked.
