The effect of darker tonal shapes on a light background felt distancing. It also preserves said shape into a frame, perhaps like an X-Ray. I enjoyed exploring shapes in this format, with a focus on objects devoid of evident value. After all, the form human conferred to objects in their daily lives don't explain themselves so readily after the death and dawn of a new civilization.
