Fractured Zone B #2

The second picture in the Fractured Zone B series also explores a shattered, fractured, gray surface.

Here is what Copilot had to say:

“The second piece in the Fractured Zone B series delves into the exploration of a shattered, fractured gray surface, capturing the raw beauty and complexity of the fragmented textures.”

Just for the record, all these images are made pixel-by-pixel by me, a human being. No AI is involved. But I am considering using AI to assist with the descriptions.

Fractured Zone B #1

And so, we glide into the Fractured Zone B series. This series is characterized by straight line cuts and light and shadow created detailed textures. The textures typically also have straight line cuts. I like recursions.

The stated theme led me down several different paths. The Transition discussion ended with intriguing textures on a snowy surface. So Fractured Zone B starts there.

Just for fun, I asked Copilot to rewrite the above:

“The Fractured Zone B series delves into the intricate interplay of straight-line cuts and the textures created by light and shadow. These textures often feature straight line cuts, adding a recursive element that enhances the visual complexity.”

“The theme of the Fractured Zone B series inspired exploration along various creative avenues. The discussion on transitions concluded with the discovery of captivating textures on a snowy surface, which became the starting point for this series.”

Any thoughts? Now my words seem too mechanical. Copilot’s words seem too flowery, and pretentions.

Transition #27

This image is also an early experiment that eventually led to the Fractured Zone A series. This one is missing the jagged fault line that characterized that series. I was trying to create a contrast between the upper right and lower left. But that composition failed.

I set it aside because I liked the upper right, straight lines dividing rough surfaces. With light and shadow highlighting the surfaces.

Transition #26

I was not paying attention, and it has been over a week since my last post. I will skip the usual excuses.

I made this sometime ago, before the Fractured Zone A series. There is a vague similarity with the FZA series, it was one of the experiments that led to that set.

Even though it was not a good fit, and I was not pleased with the overall composition, there was something I liked near the center. Notice the straight-line cuts, and the shadowing that suggests broken pieces. I set it aside to revisit later and then headed in a different direction.
