The image was a total accident. I'm not even sure what it is capturing and I don't actually remember the point

of taking the image, but that's besides the point. I did, it's there and I've processed it.

A little something about waking from dreams that feel like memories; ancestors, friends, loved-ones and the loss

thereof; mourning for the departed and sensing ephemeral reconnection. Conversely, the kinetic nature of life,

youth. It's all linked; and this is linked intrinsically to the words In Revenance.

This is a personal piece.

Although I'm not quite sure what it is, it is lovely.

To me it says; life

Aha, it's a conceptual piece.
I'm glad you could pick something out of it.

You never cease to amaze me.
I see it as the Touch of Death. So many times the hand of death is represented by a skeletal figure. I feel this more accurately portrays it, which is funny seeing as someone else saw it as life. But the same hand that works death also works life, so it works both ways really.

I like all the color and the subtle lines swooshing around -- It feels as though this is what wind would look like if it weren't colorless.

Very Beautiful :)

That shall remain something of an enigma, I'm afraid. It's a somewhat personal piece.

Thankyou for commenting though, I'm glad you like it.
