This is a three part mini series titled Contemplation based on two intriguing original works by Nogland which are Totem https://knownorigin.io/gallery/231525-totem and Moon Bear https://knownorigin.io/gallery/239225-moon-bear.

Part One is the GIF Moon Bear in Futuristic Contemplation.

Part Two is the GIF Totem Hoping for Reassembly.

Part Three is the GIF Nothing Much Happens After All.

In my re-imagination of the base artwork, the antagonists in this mini-story are feeling incomplete, and out of place. Hence they create to re-create themselves in order to be whole. The third piece is the moment when the attempt yields nothing and nothing much happens after all - other than the attempt that was undertaken in vain.

I would like to thank Nogland for his support in letting me use Moon Bear and Tortem as the base layer and inspiration. I would also like to thank the collector of these artwork for giving consent.

Technical process for this work involved a Photoshop session where two artwork were edited multiple times to create a set of blended images to yield a final super blend as the base image. That base image was imported to Photomosh for a set of experimental runs until the desired visual feeling was achieved. Then each composition was selectively orchestrated by navigating through the super blend's topography. Final images were made in GIF form to give a feeling of an amateur documentary video.
