Mysterious dark orange writhing tendrils float behind an illuminated hexagonal pavilion surrounded by rippling lavender waves and a decorative toroidal band of thin copper.

Images of neglect and abandon are transformed into a luxurious mandala that is reminiscent of an opulent stained glass window illuminated with glowing warm light. From photographs of a wadded up cloth in a pile of pine needles lying next to a scratched and rusty blue painted metal panel, and the pegboard of an abandoned and dilapidated upright piano.

A radiant glowing star, with rather sad and perplexed faces near the inner core, surrounded by a translucent soft wave of deep muted purple and green above alligator-patterned loops and dark sticks. From photographs of a large rusty chain and hunk of metal on pine needles with a pine cone, and an old garden hose in a pile of sticks. Photography + Image Blending & Digital Effects

The criss-cross wires of an abandoned bicycle wheel, woven into a charming mandala with a lyrical hub of pastel and bright green-yellow. From photographs of an old bicycle wheel, hardware cloth, sticks, and an abandoned clutch plate. Photography + Image Blending & Digital Effects

A soft warm glow lights the paths leading to the city center, where, under a brightly lit umbrella, sheltered from wind, rain, sun, and dark of night, all manner of festivities may be taking place! From photographs of a broken window and paint dripping down the panels of an old garage door. Photography + Image Blending & Digital Effects
