Beneath the Beauty Of It All

From the Isle of Floreana it sprang,

Surviving and thriving among the deep rich bed.

Hidden beneath beauty lies the unimaginable,
omnipotent magma.

Rushing up to blanket the top with its life-giving
nutrients.

From the tempest it was born.

Bursting forth with life, while
spreading its enchantment to the world.

A sea of turmoil that is the gushing red lava
of her temper.

Permitted her to rise,
then settle and mature.

Its blooms rests, nurtured in awe of the wonders
of nature it calls home.

I Give for all to enjoy,
while securing it close to my bosom.

Protecting it from the foul stench
outside of my Galapagos.

Come see.
but
Never forget.

The power that lies beneath.

I can lavish one with immense beauty.

Then turn and heap upon you
devastating pain from my magma.
Rolled into crystals.
Tempered by the devil.

For Now, Enjoy the fruit of my labor.

But respect the omnipotence.

For my current project, I re-discovered three lovely pure fractals resembling flowers that I created in the advanced version of the fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. Hidden among my hundreds of other designs were these below. I utilized the fractals to create a unique flower for the poem I included. The poem explains the flower's unusual origin.

I've reiterated before how changing the background of the fractals to black illuminates the intricate details of the images. There are, of course, other dark colored backgrounds that work well.

Other images I included in my design are a stable diffusion image for a white flower bouquet and a free-sourced image of a skull to represent the volcano's hidden power.

Finally, I utilized Canva to blend the different type images. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas. I then added layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that includes tools to remove backgrounds, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items as required.

I share with you my completed project:

Thanks for taking the time to view my post. I hope you like my mixed media project with a poem.
