Kindness Ripples

A series of 4 portrait photographs arranged horizontally. They depict the progression of ripples expanding through water. Golden tones at the top of the image meet oval shaped ripples in the center; the color shifts to blues with increasing darkness at the bottom of the photos. The dynamic patterning of golds and blues suggests movement and depth. A short stick pokes into the bottom left corner of each photo.

 In the first image, a splash of water rises from the center. Water droplets extend past waving streams of water that resemble flames. Light and shadow provide a sense of shape in varying degrees of focus accenting the movement.

 In the second image, the initial splash has receded leaving an oval shaped array of textures on the water’s surface from the droplets that landed. Several mini droplet circles are visible in a cluster near the bottom right of the image.

In the third image, the center oval shape has expanded, emphasized by golden highlights and blue depths. The center’s surface remains textured; the cluster of ripples on the lower right are larger.

 In the final image, the center’s textures soften and expand.  The shape captured in the photo shifts more to rounded arcs than oval. Gold and blue curved lines frame the mix of colors and shapes in the center.
