The AtmaSpheres Collection
"Atma" meaning in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions: the higher Self, Universal consciousness.
"Spheres" meaning places or environments within which a thing exists.
All images in the AtmaSpheres Collection are created in the digital domain. Many algorithmic techniques might include math formulas, layering, collage, the distortion of shapes and colors as well as the alteration of geometric structures by pushing, pulling, prodding and multiplying their parts. Each piece is unique in its construction and approach. When the image is complete, it is then rendered to our physical world by way of a dye-infused aluminum process. This particular type of process gives the image a gem like quality,almost as though it were lit from within,much like light streaming through a stained glass window.
