WHAT IS EMERGE ART? The Salamander

After investigating what is happening in the bowl of water with Photoshop filters, I create the Emerge Art. This is the polished version. This makes the phenomena clearer.

The Salamander* is the clearest example of what Emerge Art is. Although all Emerge Art are different, they all manifest with varying combinations of light and water as the basic medium that reacts to the environment.

This avant-garde practice transcends conventional boundaries, offering a captivating lens through which to explore the metaphysical mysteries inherent in the element of water combining them with the rigour of art, science, and philosophy. 

Emerge Art stands as a challenge to humanity's perpetual quest for understanding the enigmatic forces that shape our existence. By documenting metaphysical phenomena within water, Emerge Art invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the intangible.

Emerge Art is the result of digitally capturing the mysterious and dynamic interplay of water and light reacting to their environment that gives rise to intelligent imagery. The process of intending a dialogue with an abstract force to obtain the phenomena suggests a profound connection between the natural world and human consciousness. The cryptic power emanating from the fluidity of water, coupled with the interplay of light, generates startling images that serve as a catalyst for profound introspection, creative inspiration, and expanded perspectives. Through Emerge Art, we are invited to explore the depths of consciousness itself and engage with the mysteries of creation in ways that transcend traditional boundaries. Ultimately, Emerge Art defies the very ontological baseline on which our current understanding of reality is built and offers a pathway rich with new insights and unexpected views of the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. 

Emerge Art captures moments of transient beauty and profound significance with a digital camera. Using artistic vision and with the use of Photoshop, I explore and highlight the uncanny images water and light create.

*A term from Paracelsus. Salamanders are elemental intelligences related to the hot, active aspect of nature (fire).

This is the original image made smaller for the purpose of sharing. The images below are also smaller that the original. If you look closely, you will observe that the image on top of the article is barely altered to highlight the mysterious woman.

To illustrate that the image is truly a unique creation from a mysterious source, I included here the image immediately following The Salamander. We can see the images from the book behind but The Salamander is gone. The flame has also changed her shape. I can't explain it better than what I see. The flame appears to express intent but this is an area of possible future exploration.

A closer look at the cropped original reveals the interplay of light and water as they create a stunning figure.

The photo immediately following The Salamander shows what the light used as an anchor to structure the features of the woman.

Cropped and side by side, we can see the dark line that comes from the book that was used by light to forge the chin of The Salamander.
