ambiguous figure/ground relationship

The Conclusion of my day in Brooklyn came to the end after finding my last finding. I decided to leave my artistic vision on a wall, but not just any wall.. This wall has a different layers/patterns of the concrete on the wall.  As seen before I wouldn’t have a choice not to identify this as ambiguous, these glorious term faces the fact of which several layers of concrete entitled within this picture. However to move beyond that factor, I would like to say that this image is truly organic due to the split curves and different shapes that’s contracted around it.
The back history of this image comes from a angry guilty building developer. During the prime years of making the buildings, Tom was the best and biggest in his firm. However one day he was given the hardest choice on constructing a building. Tom’s boss forced Tom to make a building over the ducks pond and a few animal habitats . However Tom didn’t like the thought of  putting  a energy plant taking the space of thousands of animals. However when finishing the building Tom made a big hole onto the wall, because due to fdr rules if a building isn’t formerly we would have to demolish it.

Walking the streets of Brooklyn; we as people see new, old, and disgusting things that comes to the eye. I would describe this as a mash of leaves, water, rocks, and sewerage that turned rotten, Based off the analyzes I would determine that this is ambiguous due to the different layers that pile within this picture. In addition due to the varieties of elements it can also be seen as ambiguous; Ambiguous would be the determining factor due to the curves and formation of everything.
As I look at the photo I’m able to back track to story of it, These specific layers arrived after a massive hurricane hit downtown Brooklyn. The wind pulled several natural water, resources, and objects around the area. While watching the news I witnessed the hurricane flip over the sewage covers causing the backed up water to reach the streets. The factors of the leaves came to play because of the harsh blows of winding hitting several trees. Also the rocks emerged from the picture due to the vast blow of guest that hit the pavement  that allowed rock’s to burst  from the stone buildings.

In this picture the stable figure would be the awareness light attached to the bus. I came to this conclusion to the fact that the light has more of a dominant factor within this image. In addition this awareness would identify as a geometric shape for the obvious appearance to one’s eyes .This object has detailed lines  to the figure at hand.
The journey of this item comes from when more modern buses was made within different eras of time. I truly think this came in place for many factors. One would be to let other drivers know that the bus will be turning. The specific location of this item will be found on different  angles on the bus to allow others to know the movements of the bus. Also the second reason would be for awareness. I believe this bus like many others would be in accidents at night. Due to this misfortunate we’ve installed blinking lights to catch the attention of many from a close and far range.

Exploring around the campus of City Tech I found this metro card. As it was discarded publicly, you can see from a art point of view that one’s man person trash is another one’s treasure. This being said I was able to identity this card as stable, The metro card has a flat surface with pointed and directed line fragments which allow it to has a specific shape. I would classify this metro card with more of a rectangle shape. Furthermore after careful examination this would be geometric.
The background history of this metro card can come from thousands of different ways. However I believe I know the true findings behind it. This story begins with James; on a regular school day James takes the bus to school, Although he usually has a monthly metro he forgot to refill it. This being said James had to use quarters, nickels, and dimes to travel. As James was taking the bm2 to school he realized he didn’t have a way back home. This being said James asked for a transfer, the item you see in this image. I and many know a transfer has a two hour limit, but James didn’t know he’ll be in school longer than expected which led to it being expired.

As on the road of exploring the streets of New York I found a iconic figure that many people use. I found a cigarette; this cigarette has more of a geometric shape. I believe in the shape of my findings due to the whole circular formation of this precise  item would let anyone know it’s geometric, especially if you’re a common user. Also due to the frame of this image the cigarette can be identified as a stable figure/ground relationship. This would be due to the outline of the picture; there’s a dark background which allows the cigarette to make a clear representation of itself in the image.
I imagine as if the cigarette was found in a local corner store. The pack was bought by a businessman in the local area, the pack he bought was Newport since that was the last one the shelves. Once buying a fresh new pack the man decides to attend to his addiction by lighting one up. As the man of the purchase is fully enjoying his cigarette, he admires every pull he takes. While smoking he realizes that he’s late to work, however Bob forgot that his wife used up majority of the gas in the car nor filled it up. Due to this misshapen Bob was forced call a cab leading to the fallout to him putting out his cigarette and leaving it on the floor barley smoked.
