I'm sorry mate but I don't get this one. It looks like somebody has died there.

That, Cem, my friend, perhaps means you did “get it”!
?
The shadow has, it seems, been decorated, in post, to modify an ordinary stark shadow.
It now might represent that our lives are as transient as a passing shadow, the pain of life or a whole series of metaphors we are allowed to conjure up when we each look!

There's a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in.

Me too, on both counts.
Some days I’m not sure if I’m playing or being serious. Maybe it’s the same thing.
At the end of a rather hypnotic hour on the computer I had this to show Christine, only because she wants to know what I’m “wasting my time” on.
She looked at me with a pathetic grin, kissed me on the forehead and told me she loves me anyway, as if no one else would.

It’s always easier to connect with your own thoughts and perceptions than to understand mine, or any artist for that matter.
I don’t like Brussel sprouts but watching people eat them who like them is a mystery and a delight.

All this is true, even factual.
But what of the thoughts of the artist who constructed it.
Only I know what went through my mind as the image formed.
I don't have words strong enough to express those thoughts in writing. My vocabulary is poor.
So I struggle with the only other means I have at hand. The image.
No single image is enough.
There is something in each that helps just a bit; or torments me into trying again and again.

Hi Tom,
These images resonate with me, no need to understand your mind. I have my own interpretations of them.

Interesting that all the pictures have a cyan hue. This sort of joins everything together!
What might that mean?

Well said. I really like & appreciate your thoughts on it.

Well, Susan,
Your presence and participation is also appreciated!
Art, that’s accurate or beautiful does us good. It allows us to muse, relax in its original awesomeness!
It’s even more impressive when, through visiting that artist’s created “micro-world”, we imagine what’s missing and so, perhaps, question our own boundaries.
