Labyrinth Patterns
Black and white abstract artworks of Labyrinth patterns.
I was prepping fresh vegetables in the kitchen for my lunch and one of the vegetables going under the knife was a large crunchy red cabbage. A nutritious vegetable with leaves a beautiful dark red-purple colour. Meanwhile, I’m convinced there is an image to be made with a slice of cabbage. Therefore, it was saved from being cooked in the steamer pot. And became raw material to be studied, and photographed.
Left to the environment for a few days, the cabbage slice dried a little and its edges gently curled. Which added to its shape, and made it more visually appealing. I photographed the vegetable slice with a macro lens. To experiment with various compositions and depth of field options. Finally, after some trial and error a photo is chosen to mirror.
And voila the narrative changed. Transitioning from a slice of red raw cabbage to a complex labyrinth or maze. With a mythical creature in centre stage. The Minotaur comes to life for those that see faces in objects. Namely the Pareidolia effect.
How do you interpret the geometric patterns in these pictures? More specifically, do you see the mythical creature sitting in the middle of the image?
