The Color Contrast Effect: Yarn & Abstract Art

Chiharu Shiota's Two Home Countries exhibit at the Asian Art museum was made almost entirely of red yarn and letters, creating reflective, evocative beauty and stories that last forever.

The intricate, abstract details from top to bottom inspired me to create my own art. I manipulated the images I took from the exhibit to create this contrasting colored-collection.

Blue Rush: The Intricacies of Mission Dolores

Mission Dolores Basilica Church Part II: The golden hour (and the hour leading up to it) presents some of the best photographic moments. Buildings just look and hit differently depending on the lighting, the weather, and time of day. I love how this pic of the church looks like it's taken closer to blue hour and offers such a calming, chill presence. You can see the intricate details of the structure even more vividly during this moment.

Illuminations at Night: Neon Splashes of Light

Can't help but admire this marvelous lights event in downtown San Francisco, with illuminating lights shining bright across numerous famous buildings in the city. 

Each building features striking digital art ranging from 5 to 10 minutes long from a diverse range of artists. I particularly loved this one at the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange building. Saturated colors in a fun gradient and sparkling background shine across all the columns and exteriors, ranging from turquoise, magenta, and midnight blue shades, creating a truly transcendent experience.

"Pulse Topology" is a transformative piece of interactive art by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, composed of thousands of light bulbs suspended at different heights that create a series of crests and valleys. The streams of lights evolve every step of the way, changing based on someone's unique heartbeat, the amount of heartbeats in the room, and created to resemble the ups and downs of a real life cardiogram.
