Man as Both Good and Evil

Philadelphia, PA

This bark is that of the Ginko tree. I found one on 2nd Street in Philadelphia, PA. I cropped the image until I had what I wanted and then I did something else. I deleted all of the image around the main picture making it black. As the picture evolved, I imagined that the center face with the open mouth and a bit of a sky nose as a politician. Then in the lower right I had this masked figure. At the top of the head is a man with an emblem on his shirt. I was reminded of a crusader during the holy wars. I now had my final image and I simply call it "Man as Both Good and Evil".
