Destruction (abstraction project)

Dec. 2020

This is a project I created after looking at abstraction in photography. We experimented with different forms of abstraction but one that stood out to me was the use of ink drops in water. The ink reminded me of the formation of an atomic bomb. I wanted to explore this further. I looked at the atomic bombings from Hiroshima and Nagasaki​ and an artist James Welling, more specifically his work with paper and the destruction of paper.
