here you have the whole dA gallery: [link]



once asked me to tell him what this series was all about for me, and this is what i wrote him:

about "falls apart",
i originally was working on a bigger series of works about visualising different moods. a couple of works kinda stood out of the series, so i kinda ripped it out and made an own series out of it.
the main purpose was to keep this one particular, but still unnamed mood. the way i saw it, the pictures expressed some sort of depressive, but yet warm and welcome feeling. like when something bad happened (again) and you fall into a really aggressive state of mind, but are too broken to act. an aggressive downfall, dynamic and amorphic. these picture perfectly transported this feeling. at least for me.
problem was, i knew that not many people feel like i do. i kinda was in that feeling when i created the pictures - had some serious issues and bad happenings in my life to process. in that approach those images are very personal, but i don't really want people to know this. i love the melancholy about being sad, and this series transported this warm depressive mood in a visual way that i like.
i still accept that every person interprets it another way. you would be amazed what people actually think what is is they are looking at. but that's okay, because i think you can transport the images to different other moods and feelings, depending on who is looking at them. what makes them looking so great are universal things, like pretty shining colors on dark black basis, a certain dynamic and vibrant flair, the mysterious feeling of like you look at something in slow motion.
if you want to force yourself into seeing something of substance, you will most probably see a fire or an explosion in slow motion. last is what i would see, if i did not know what i look at. and yet again this is totally in synch with my intentions, because different stills from an explosion would absolutely fit to the downfall-feeling that i wanted to express with them. is it the world around you that explodes and leaves your mind in pieces? then this is surely how it would look like.

see, i can talk like forever about this series. ^^
i surely do interpret too much into my own works, there is no way i could transport that much of content just through a series of pictures. there is no reason for people to think about it that deep. i mean that's okay, i don't expect anybody to even try it ^^
