18x18" Symmetrical Photographs

  
18x18" Inkjet Prints Project:
The Symmetrical Photographs
Photographs less about the subject matter and more about
the Sacred, the Formless, the Oneness of Being

Note: This project is of course directly related to another 18x18"
inkjet print project which explores the theme Infinity in relation
to my Symmetrical Photographs. Here is another link,
which is more comprehensive in several ways.

(Many of my other thematic 18x18" inkjet print
projects include symmetrical images.)

My 18x18" Symmetrical inkjet prints tend to be simpler,
with larger forms and spaces. The more complicated
images, those with smaller forms, textures, spaces
have been printed in the larger 21x21" format.

Note: All of the symmetrical photographs presented above are images

below include man made things and spaces, an important 
distinction, it seems to me, which I invite you to come
to terms with on your own if you so desire.
