Labyrinth Patterns
This series features black-and-white abstract artworks inspired by labyrinth patterns. It all started while I was prepping vegetables for lunch. As I sliced into a large, crunchy red cabbage, its deep red-purple leaves caught my attention. I immediately felt there was potential for an image, so I set it aside before it could be steamed. It became raw material for a photographic study.
After a few days, the cabbage slice dried slightly, causing its edges to curl, which enhanced its shape and visual appeal. Using a macro lens, I explored different compositions and depth of field until I found the perfect shot to mirror.
The result was fascinating. The image transitioned from a simple cabbage slice to an intricate labyrinth or maze, evoking the idea of a mythical creature at the centre – reminiscent of the Minotaur. For those who experience pareidolia, the face-like shapes in the pattern come to life. f
How do you interpret the geometric patterns in these pictures? Do you see the mythical creature sitting at the heart of the labyrinth?
