Thankyou for being more clear, I’m not looking to argue about this. I lucid dream every night and I remember my dreams even from 20 years ago no problem. I had a lucid that was really obscure, and I felt inspired. I was working really hard at the time on building a quality music network when I decided I would try something with light.

I talked with my friends in colorsquad who are an internet label for IDM friends 🌎 as I made the project when I joined their discord. That my dream was the causality of the idea to work with light.

I acquired my materials from a spiritual shop next to my house. My friend who owned a sandwich shop suggested I go. So I bought a cheap suncatcher and a 3 dollar quartz tumble I used for the project.

I took about 100 pictures of light bending and warping through the quartz and picked one image to create a project with. In my own mind I decided the picture I chose would have to be the right one to work with.

Now the strange part for me is I wanted to zone out and relax when I made this. So I got drunk had some thc caps and put some music on singing along whatever. All my actions were random, I cut the image with pc paint, duplicate rotated and expanded into a larger formation, added a border, and there’s a few tiny areas in the flower shape that I simple paint canned some colors in to make it look more flowerish.

I opened photoshop7 highlighted it, warped it with polar coordinates, I highlighted it again two times and opened up the hue settings. I did 3 custom hue changes when I started to notice a picture. Finally I used curve edit to black out the image and I made some really lucky clicks and picture defined itself beautifully.

Afterwards I applied a glow setting to make the black areas bright white and that’s when the wolf shapes in the picture came through. What I created is only a zoomed in potion of the original project image. I’m kind of embarrassed to say i haven’t been able to define the entire photo this way.

My theorized result is that one part of the picture reminds me of my dream. The other parts remind me of a recurring dream my friend had shared with me. I believe that my dream is a simple reason for causality.

After I had the image defined as best I could I wanted to explore it more. So I used the emboss tool to overlap the image into a new one. That’s where I get the final image that red and orange. This one is cool because the symbols in the image are technically made of light and I can trace them from iPad to paper. So that’s been fun try and be creative with.

The projects about exploring art, tools, and what connects us to the space we exist in. I hope you take it as a daring introspection. I love light after making this, it just seems more beautiful after this experience.
