Leaf “Obvious image”- The image is a dry and old leaf that has been stepped on and mistreated by the thousands of New Yorkers who pass through there daily. Its shape is organic, with a very circular body but very defined tips and its texture is soft despite how dead it is. The figure is an apparent object concerning the ground since it can be seen very easily on the pavement. Possibly it ended up there because when it dried, it just fell off its tree and moved with the wind until it reached that street
Fork “Obvious image”- It is easy to say that this figure is very unusual to find on the street, which makes it stand out from the ground even more. A full-size metal fork lying on the streets is not very common to see. The texture is cold and hard. I would say that his shape is geometrical since it has many straight and perfectly cut lines, something made by humans. Is hard to know or imagine the story behind this fork, I just want to assume that some family o person was at a picnic maybe and it just fell in the street.
Napkin “Obvious image”- This is a figure where her obviousness stands out from the ground due to the clearness that is seen. It is a used and very dirty napkin that rests on the floor of New York City. Its originally rectangular shape was compromised due to the folds and wrinkles it has due to the footsteps of hundreds of people. The texture may still be soft and pliable, but its original color and shape are no longer the same. I can only imagine that this napkin ended up on the street after completing its job of cleaning the hands and face of some hungry person, where its path to the dump was compromised either by high winds or carelessness by the owner of this napkin.
Paint in a wall “Ambiguous image”- This is a photo of paint worn by time, you can see the few remains that remain of what used to be a smooth wall. Their shapes are organic because they have been formed by wind, water, and sun. Its texture is like sand and every time you pass a hand it keeps coming off.
Oil in the street “Ambiguous image” – In this image it is difficult to distinguish what is what, it looks like a black stain that was mixed with another, but in reality in oil that was spilled on a street. Now, because the oil has dried it’s hard to tell which is the road and which is the oil in the photo. Their shapes are organic, full of round shapes, with no straight lines or geometric shapes. The most logical way that occurs of how this stain was formed is that perhaps a parked car, probably in poor condition, began to spill oil in that place and then dry.
Wall with texture “Ambiguous image ” – This is the image of very organic shapes on a wall. The shapes despite being organic were made by a human, it is hard to believe but it is because the movements made by a hand are very natural.
