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.

ambiguous figure/ground relationship

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.

obvious figure/ground relationship

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.
