This photo challenge has really made me think about the composition of everything around us. It’s crazy to think about how many leaves are on this bush; how many veins in each leaf; how many cells compose the veins. I wish I was small enough to see photosynthesis happen inside the leaf.
When I think about the details that make up me in the physical sense, and the pieces that make up my life, and the aspects of each of us that make us unique, I think Seurat was a hyper-realist.
The difference between my picture of leaves and Seurat’s painting is that my camera doesn’t have a high enough resolution to show all the pieces that make up the subject. Seurat found a way to do that.
