Nebulous

Square black-and-white abstract photograph dominated by a large dark-edged orb on the left and smaller overlapping circular forms near the centre. Curved bands and radiating textures distort faint fragments of leaves and urban surfaces
Gas Giant

Nebulous brings together images reworked from ICM photographs and digital paintings through a polar-distortion process. Light trails, foliage, painted marks and fragments of terrestrial space fold around invented centres, becoming planetary bodies, nebulae, orbits and other unstable forms. The source imagery remains faintly present, but the landscape shifts scale—from streets, plants and painted surfaces towards imagined galactic and science-fiction space.

  • Square abstract colour photograph with long white and pale pink light trails rising diagonally from a bright golden flare. Red-orange and tangled lavender lines cross smoky grey, brown and yellow surroundings.
    Light Speeds

  • Square black-and-white abstract photograph with a dark circular centre surrounded by tangled, orbiting white light trails. A softly illuminated form sits within the centre, while the left side remains largely black.
    Singularity
  • Square abstract colour photograph with a rounded green form emerging from smoky grey and brown haze. A bright white-gold light trail arches above it, while finer coloured lines curl around the lower half.
    Genesis
  • Square abstract colour photograph of a dark mottled orb surrounded by sweeping amber, gold, grey and pale blue haze. Light flares around its left edge as broad circular forms radiate outwards.
    Dying Sun
  • Square abstract colour photograph with broken violet loops circling a reddish-orange centre. Golden and pale green light radiates outwards through smoky olive and brown forms, shaped into layered streaks and arcs by intentional camera movement.
    Photon Dance

  • Square abstract image with a small yellow and red beetle-like form surrounded by looping lines and compressed colour. Large blurred yellow and blue-grey circular shapes float against a deep teal background.
    Beetle Moon

  • Square black-and-white abstract photograph with a small circular vortex connected to a large dark-edged oval. Fine looping lines and pale radiating textures sweep around warped darker forms near the lower centre.
    Solar Flare

  • Square colour abstract photograph with two dark circular forms surrounded by smoky brown and grey distortions. White, gold and pink light trails curve between them and radiate outwards from a bright flare near the lower edge.
    Foundation
  • Square black-and-white abstract photograph with a dark circular core inside a luminous oval form. A bright curved trail enters from the left and converges near the centre, surrounded by radiating textures and sweeping concentric lines.
    Orbital Entry
  • Square colour abstract photograph of a small dark-edged orb with red and gold markings. A bright white-gold trail sweeps upwards to the right through smoky brown haze, beneath a muted blue-grey central band.
    Asteroid
  • Square black-and-white abstract photograph of a small skeletal bird within a dark circular hollow. Broad leaves and plant fragments spiral around it, distorted into dense, sweeping bands.
    Nest Nebula
  • Square black-and-white abstract photograph with fine white light trails curling around a dark circular centre. A larger pale vortex opens beside them at upper right, narrowing towards a dark point.
    Tendrils
  • Square colour abstract photograph of a large dark circular vortex with a small pale centre. Golden, white and pink light trails sweep around its outer rim against a smoky blue-grey and brown field.
    Ring World
  • Square abstract image with a compact cluster of circular forms and geometric fragments against deep violet-blue. Bright magenta trails loop around the centre, accompanied by pale blue-grey arcs and radiating shapes.
    Magnetosphere
  • Square colour abstract image of a dark circular vortex with a small illuminated centre. Amber, gold and red light gathers around its rim, while blurred blue-grey and ochre forms spiral outwards across the surrounding field.
    Gravity Well
  • Square abstract image with overlapping violet, pink and blue circular forms surrounded by fine dark loops. Broad rust-red curves sweep across a warm ochre-yellow ground and converge near the centre
    Orbital Plane
  • Square abstract colour photograph with a dark mass meeting swirling blue-grey forms. Tangled white, gold and orange light flares near the lower centre, while a smaller orange glow and fine horizontal lines cross the darkness at lower left.
