Atoms, And The Soul

My soul has no "atoms", even though I use this word in my bio.

Atoms are fictions that happen to work in enabling us humans to control our surroundings. Also, I have no soul - another fiction that happens to work to give lots of people hope, which is a good thing.

What do I think of your visual? I think that it might not be the best display of it. What is it - a photo?, a painting? On the computer screen, it looks fairly unappealing, but if it is a real-world texture on canvas or something, then that could work, as long as the viewer could WITNESS the three dimensionality of the texture.

I don't get it. Take away the title and what have you got? Dots on black, or maybe a stellar constellation. The image doesn't really say anything.

I agree that it's a bit dark. I think it would have more depth and structure if you lightened it a bit. So if a soul were made up of atoms, this is what it might look like? Interesting concept if that's your intent. I would suggest writing a description to help viewers understand what it represents.

It's kind of like looking at clouds you know how different people see different things in the same cloud? I see a torso from the back with raised arms. But that's just me.

I did NOT at first, but now I too see a human torso: erector spinal musculature, trapezius, lattissimus dorsi, and top of glutes, but this is NOT the first impression, because the image on a computer screen does NOT have very much appeal.

Again, if it is a textured painting, then this might work, since a live viewer near the live painting could feel this texture in a way that a computer screen cannot convey.
