The heart of Morgana.

Concept: The changes taking place in Nature, the degradation of Earth and the nihilistic choices Man takes. Addressed with no emotions, void of compassion and rational (ultimately pragmatic for his future) mind: that's how these issues are. We, as in the final instance mortal beings, care not of Nature. Not seeing we steal our own heart, our own peace, the beauty that is still to come, we blindly infest the world with what eats it from the inside: Development (thank you, Hegel).

Background: It is clear that the heart of our future is reversing it's path. Maybe without the illusions of linear evolution we could realize our enslaved Beginning (the "Outside") is turning the back on us. And this process is only slightly visible, but "boy, oh boy" is it becoming exponentially "fluorescent".

Manipulation info: Back for a day, I've stitched these photos together and I hope you like them. The technique is common "among my ranks": layers, blendings, adjustment layers, brushing in of details. I probably should've uploaded the picture in a bigger format (the heart is prolly small), but I'm not really willing to release these for universal public usage;)

Take care, my friends!

Welcome back Domen... I like your interpretation of the concept and of course I totally agree with it. Devolopment is the path to the destruction of human sensibility to the umwelt and of its own emotions.

_marmota says:

An entirely innovative view of change - a common theme in many images at this time of year. Certainly your take on change is far more profound than any autumn photo..the changes taking place in our environment and certainly the changes taking place within ourselves, and our relationship to the world 'out there'.

Wonderful as always.

Btw, I almost feel a little guilty responding so late to your images. You've obviously put a lot of work into them - both the images and the concept - so I think it deserves some sort of reply. I find that it takes me a little time before I can find the energy for a response. I see one in my contacts' photos and I have to leave it open as a tab in my browser for a day or two..to let it breathe a bit I think.

Domen, I want you to know that your images affect me profoundly - I haven't left many comments, but you astonish me and teach me always... and I love to let your images sink into my visual cortex. They stay there for a long time and fertilize my brain. Then they cross pollinate and help to give birth to my own images. You are one of the best, most generous artists I have the privilege to view here on Flickr. Thank you thank you thank you. I love this image and the message.

I truly agree with these emotions.
I see the human species as a selfish (on an average) group, caring only for themselves and for their current needs without worrying about the billions of other inhabitants of this beautiful, unique and the only life-giving planet or worrying about the future needs, necessities and resources.
At the current "greediness", I doubt that we will survive very long. We are shooting ourselves in the heart.

This shot brings out the true emotions of mankind.

Wow very interesting. Without he comment i naively saw a sweet positive picture in it, the swallows symbolising spring and fertility, bringing love to the world. Morgana being a pagan godess symbolising female and natural power.
Then i read your comment :)
I sadly must agree with you. Only ultimately, aren't we humans natural creatures, making our minds, behaviour, ideas, cultures ultimately NATURAL as well? Nature fckd itself..
