The pictures I present are mental and emotional games. Relax and enjoy the game!
Hello there, here is how it all got started..
.. A few years back, while on a trip where we were expecting to see exotic wildlife I made a very intriguing and fascinating discovery that utterly changed my artistic life. That discovery is called Pareidolia.
While the birds were stubborn and were a no show I realized by looking at the surface of the water that the "Exotic" was everywhere around me and especially in the most overlooked spaces. And Here it was .. My first face staring at me from a floating leaf! .. and the second ... ect
Since then and thanks to the interest and playfulness shown by the people surrounding me I have been on a Safari every day.
The quality and diversity of the "captures" has kept expanding and improving which brings us to today where I feel confident enough to share it with the broader world.
I hope you enjoy the tour.
I hope you let your imagination send you back to your childhood sense of wonder because this is the REAL POWER of these images.
As in a Rorschach test they are a GAME where you bring your own story. Because nobody "made" them they are selfless, ego free and ready to unlock YOUR IMAGINATION.
Enjoy the game!
Joel
