Another image from the glowstick series. A set of hands with the iquid from the inside of a glowstick tube. The quality of the image isnt the best as it was taken in a 2mp camera phone, as a I didn't have the camera handy at the time.
I think that for such an image this is the best possible quality, Nikki! Any kind of quality in the traditional sense can only diminish the impact that it has as it is now. I'd say that the visual continuation of the hands is the only small negator of that impact here - imagine them both "swimming" in darkness without any reference to where they start from.
But still the restriction of the color palette and the hard grain generate a spectre of theatrical reality. Much like an a minifestation of a scene of an independent label theater play, where the plot is generated in mind rather, than on paper. The very hard contrasts helped a lot for that.
I don't know if the inclusion of both hands is good. Perhaps one would be better. That has to be tested, I guess. But one thing is already negative to me, and this is that ring! Get that off! It introduces an element of reality that breaks the otherwise very strong consistency of the absurd.
Now, could there be a continuation for that? A face? Or a whole human being?
