Objets Etranges #1
For me, there are a few ideas I’m focusing on with this picture. This piece represents my first attempt at incorporating indexing data into an image. The picture also touches on a larger fictional narrative I’ve been developing around god and humanity’s purpose in the world. It’s also part of an ongoing exercise in exploring the documentation and presentation of imagined maquettes.
I kind of like a piece when its at this stage.

Semiotics… I like the idea of symbols and how they contain meaning. They feel like they belong there to me. I don’t think they have any strong meanings yet.
