Natural Interactions ｜ Digital Photography (no size) ｜ color-tinted plastic sheets. Allowed a red, yellow, and blue sheet to curl around each other slightly and shot from the edge.

This piece was a response to my inquiry this year: How can I capture the interaction/intersection of light, color, and transparency? After examining some of my earlier pieces, I discovered that something was missing from them - actual light. I had only been depicting light through visual illusion, rather than having actual light present in the piece in some way. I turned to photography as a way to capture light rather than depicting it. This specific piece resulted from experimentation with shooting plastic sheets tinted red, yellow, and blue. I shot the image with my iPhone, simply allowing the light coming in from the window to interact with the different colors of the transparent sheets which had curled and folded around each other. This approach led to the most fundamental, basic response to my inquiry question, and therefore what I believe is the most successful piece from my work this year. I find my best work often results from experimentation, but it is important for me to still have a clear purpose and focus throughout.
