This is an image by Javier De La Torre. It's a landscape/mindscape image, and it's very similar to the kind of image I want to create. It seems like the image was ver normal to begin with, but when combined with a heavy amount of photoshop, it created this really bizarre but strangely beautiful. I love the use of symmetry, and the colour combination is fantastic. I'm really inspired by this piece, and some of its concepts will certainly be used for my final.

This is another image I found when looking for abstract images. This one doesn't appear as edited, but it still has a strange, twisted composition. I liked this one because it used pre-existing structures in an interesting and different ways. The lines on the mountain don't feel real, and thy create really great leading lines that force you to look at, nothing really. The lines move your eyes up, and when they find nothing, making a confusing twist on an otherwise happy-looking normal picture.

This last image really sparked my interest. The actual composition and location of the picture could have ended up being mediocre and the lighting and the colors of the piece seemed quite generic, but the slight tilt in the camera created this unsettling feeling in piece, and fixed some of the lesser parts of the photo. I've always enjoyed the purposeful breaking of level horizon, and I think this is a great example of doing that correctly.

The actual piece I plan on making is a sort of collage of images of trees, to create a chaotic and strange composition. I don't want to evoke a mood as much as a simple feeling of confusion and unsettlement.
