Prisms Like Diamonds

Lee, Nikki. Prisms Like Diamonds. 11 June 2016. iPhone 6+. Pixlr. 535px X 640px

Prisms Like Diamonds originally began as a selfie with my hands. I was obsessed with the way my hands looked whenever I snapped the picture. The iPhone captured the shadows my raised veins created against my hand causing the light source to split, one side dark the other bright. I played around with the filters and ran across a couple of them that allowed the image to be swarmed in rainbow colors and pixelated diamonds. After rotating and flipping the filter across the image, I found that they work best as the focal point, just as my hands were in the original. The colorful diamonds somehow weren't enough to make magic, so I found another filter which created hard lines of triangles and prisms as seen in the bottom left corner. The diamonds and prisms are similar in shape and design so it felt perfect to place them together. The colorful diamonds creep all the way up the hand perfectly displaying the entire color spectrum.
