Longing - Digital Collage



















"Longing" is this weeks theme for Collage Obsession.

She longed for her partners return, waited so long, she passed into another realm...and waited some more.

Normally I like precise straight lines, clean curves, nothing out of place..."perfection" if you will.
For this challenge I tried to step outside of my usual "box" and just go where my mind took me.
Not a very happy piece, but then again, the fiance is watching a horror film that I'm trying not to look at, but I hear the death and destruction, so my mind went to ghosts.
Still digital collage, but slightly different style.
Hope you like. :-)

  5. This is so fascinating to me - soft and yet dark, horrifying yet beautiful. It asks many questions and answers none. Well, almost none but the clue is in what was on the TV in the background! Great work, Leila. I love it!
