Angels of Desire is a series of digital AI images composited over a painted collage background. The subject in the art was conjured from a poem about a fallen angel who rises out of the water on earth seeking redemption. Ai Prompt Art created the Angel on a digital platform—a figment of the artist's imagination described through prompts. The art process was achieved through the marriage of both AI and classic 2D combinations. The background art is a labor of love, the result of layering three painted abstract plates together to create a fractal world of shattered colors and geometric squares and rectangles filled with color. Lastly, the edges are darkened to give the impression of intimacy. The artwork is a metaphor for redemption. As children, we fall to earth as angels in innocence, but through our experience in life, our innocence dissipates. We are always caught up in a struggle of good versus the carnal. Can we rise above our basic instincts of instant gratification? As the apple tempted Eve.

I've crafted a collection of diptychs titled ‘Blink’
In the series, I've curated a set of diptychs capturing the ephemeral essence of perceiving landscapes and still lifes. Utilizing swift sequences reminiscent of the mind's eye, I've employed digital manipulation, weaving linear elements to introduce motion into typically static landscapes. The colors have been digitally heightened, enveloping the viewer in a hyperreal encounter that establishes a dichotomy mirroring our observation of still life within dynamic motion.
In "Blink," Gladwell explores the concept of rapid cognition and intuition, examining how people make quick decisions and judgments. The premise involves the idea that our subconscious mind can sometimes make remarkably accurate assessments in the blink of an eye. Gladwell delves into various examples to support this perspective.

Press Release
Rotterdam Photo is happy to announce the launch of the Single Image Open Call for the 2024 edition. We invite professional and amateur photographers to reflect on the theme Imagine - and submit one photo (series).
Imagine: a word that evokes imagination, creativity, and limitless possibilities.
This edition of Rotterdam Photo focuses on the theme 'Imagine' and invites photographers and artists to question and transform our world's perception with their imagination.
This theme raises the following questions: How does our imagination influence our reality? What possibilities do we find when we open ourselves up to new ideas? What is the role of photography in shaping our understanding of the world around us?
In today's complex society, we need the imagination more than ever. It can serve as a tool of hope and positivity. Whether that entails the creation of innovative solutions or the stimulation of dialogue on cultural and social issues. It is the creative expressions that often act as a catalyst for change. In moments of uncertainty, turmoil, and chaos, art reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to transform the current situation.
As we make our way through the complex dynamics of today's world, Rotterdam Photo makes space for a platform where imagination, innovation, and critical thinking come together. This year's edition offers a unique opportunity to dive into the boundless world of imagination. The festival promises to be an absolutely unforgettable experience for photography enthusiasts and anyone looking for new perspectives.
The theme 'Imagine' challenges photographers to go beyond reality and let their imagination run wild - beyond the known boundaries and limitations. Several modern photographers have already embraced this concept. They explore diverse angles such as surrealism, portrait and landscape photography, and the romanticization of the everyday.
The Rotterdam Photo offers viewers the chance to explore a variety of photographic works from around the world, all united under the theme 'Imagine'. In submitted works, we see a recurring element of imagination and fantasy, where photographers create new worlds, realities, and stories. Therefore, the theme 'Imagine' not only means an artistic concept but is an invitation to give free rein to our own thoughts and associations while viewing these fascinating images.
