LMAC Free-Style: Bright Hues in the World, Monochrome Within

Hi Creative Community!

In every collage I create, it is usually a story or a reflection of myself. Although not adept at describing myself in words, I strive to convey it as best as I can through the art I produce.

After being absent for a day due to a mental block where no ideas flowed, I decided to take a short break. Today, I return, presenting you with my latest creation.

As an observer in this colorful world, I look outward with open eyes and full of imagination. The sun shines, flowers bloom, and the blue sky with clouds creates a captivating scene. However, when the focus returns to myself, those colors disappear. It's as if I always see myself in black and white. It continues to be that way. While the external world is vibrant with cheerful nuances, the world within me feels monochromatic. Perhaps it's because of my tendency to view everything critically, trapped in a black-and-white mindset.

Have you ever heard that butterflies can't see the beauty of their wings, and only others can? Similarly, sometimes I can't see myself and am always concerned about shortcomings, even though there are people who see me as enough.

As the world keeps turning, I will continue to strive to recognize and appreciate the colors within myself. Perhaps there's beauty yet unseen, even if they are just dark colors filled with imperfections; they are all part of a unique creation. And maybe from there, I can create beautiful colors.

Ok, Let's leave that for a moment and return to the creation of my collage this time. I found an interesting collection while exploring LMAC Gallery, especially @justclickindiva's fractal collection with mesmerizing patterns. After discovering that image, I looked at other collections I hadn't seen before. There are many cool collections, and it seems like I've saved some to use in my next collage.

With the magical and majestic yellow-colored fractal, I combined it with other harmonious colors from contributors on LMAC Gallery. You can see it in the image source I've provided below. This time, I chose warmer colors with a light effect on the objects I integrated.
