Foggy Window

Blooms of colour show through what looks like misted glass, their edges breaking into pixels: a red and white cluster on pale grey, a yellow mass glowing on blue-black.

Each output is a blurred, pixelated field that obscures a clean image.

Drawing on Plato's allegory of the cave, the series asks how little of what is seen is the world, and how much is assumption, memory and projection. What remains of the image is left to inference, and inference is the subject.

The first image of a question the later series keep returning to. It opens the arc that runs through All That Noise and Flare to Almost Still; Gestalt comes back to the same question from the viewer's side.
