Figure 1 – Sequins. (c) DE Wolf 2018.

My theme and Figure for today is “sequins.” The photograph was taken as a close-up of a designer dress with my IPhone and was meant to be like an impressionist abstraction. The incredible ability of the IPhone’s camera to take close-ups is here demonstrated by the sharp focus of the individual disks.  I commented to the store clerk that it must be difficult to prevent the sequin disks from falling off. Seems to me that it is like scaling a fish every time that you bump into something or someone. But I was assured that the very expensive dress was only meant to be worn once – like a kind of transient beauty. This led me to wonder about a deeper meaning involving a very materialistic society. However, I choose instead to focus on the luminescence the sparkle and the color in abstraction.
