Rock Formations

There are many ways to express yourself through art. One way that I found to express something more than just a pretty picture is by using nature itself. People have used rock formations to to show something more that what you see.
These rock formations that i have composed have a simple, yet meaningful story behind it.

The top rock formation shows the balance that we can obtain even though we might not have all equal proportions.


The second rock formation on the left has an optical illusion feel to it. Even though I used rocks, and parts of plants, it seems like if it is looking somewhere. The plant seeds act as eyes and the leafs and twigs ans hair to for a head. This is where the right side of the brain comes to function, the creative side.


The last rock formation has feelings. why do I say that? Because, do to the composition, there is a feeling of hope and wonder. The head rock and the eyes show a gaze look towards the sky with that feeling, a feeling of hope and wonder on what will be.

Rock formations are very simple to assemble, but to make an art form out of it, it take more than just putting it together. You need to show an expression, you need to feel something when you see it, and you need your viewers to be able to feel what you feel when they see it.

Make your own rock formation and share what you have created.
