Flow Five Spheres 5/10

In this limited-edition art photograph, a solitary, nude woman lies on her side, arching backward around several metal spheres. Her arms reach overhead and her legs extend with toes pointed. We view this presentation from above, as if we are flying over the scene.

Composition

Her outermost fingers and toes point toward the upper left and lower left corners of the composition. Her body is devoid of adornment or attire except for a choker: a black velvet ribbon clasped at the front of her neck with a silver valentine heart.

Surrounding the main subject are five mirrored spheres. She clutches one silvery globe; the other four lie on the floor behind her.

The largest of these globes rests near the sharpest bend of her back, its mirrored surface distorting the reflection of most of her body. Barely discernible, it is a side of her only visible from this tiny view. Between the large sphere and her back, an area of negative space fills with shadow.

The remaining three objects are arranged in a semi-circular orbit around the large sphere, helping to balance the composition by filling the empty space between her hand and foot. The remainder of the scene to the lower right is blank, filled only with subtle shadowing.

Although the spheres are small compared to the shape of the figure, they stand out due to their metallic surface. Their nature as shiny objects grants them a special allure that naturally draws the eye.

This affordable image from an overhead vantage point is ready to fit into a standard frame and sized to display in just about any space.
