Parasite

A second artwork made for the black&white exhibition over at www.projectaurora.art/.

Yes, this image is not actually b&w because in this case I like the colored version better. However, I did work in b&w the entire time and only brought back the colors afterwards. Limiting myself this way forced me to focus on creating a clear contrast between the main object (the parasite) and its environment, which I think is still apparent in the colored version. You can see the original over at www.projectaurora.art/ if you're interested. 

Thanks to Noireuse and YBsilon-Stock for the stock photos of the roots that were used to create the parasite. Other stock images came from mattepaint.com and unsplash.com.
