Puzzle Piece

Blurred patches of white against a plant-green background, with a single gap. Inside the gap a single half-blown dandelion puff is caught in a sliver of razor-thin focus. The clean white of the feathered seeds contrasting against the play of warm greens and whites in the background.

Contact

A smoky tiger barn cat arches atop the door of a wooden fence, paws held in a dynamic pose and nose cenimeters away from the wood where he takes in the scents. Sunlight catches his frame, illuminating his head and shoulders and gives a soft chiaroscuro to the scene.

A straight cement path in 1-point perspective. A grassy hill leads down to dark green trees on the lefthand side, while the righthand side is enclosed by a black metal fence. Streetlamp bulbs arch over the path from the fence and vanish into the distance.

A waxing gibbous moon sits at the center of a hazy night sky, partially obscured by black clouds. The light of the moon throws the haze into a range of blurring browns, blacks, silvers, and greys.
