The theme for this weeks challenge over at thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com is Maps. As it so happens, this particular subject led me UP a path I've been craving to travel........inwards!!! It's been awhile.
"A moments insight can sometimes be worth a life's experience." Oliver Wendell Holmes
The areas around the head and arms disappeared between the digital layers, becoming a happy 'accident'. I was going to touch it up, and then realized the spiritual implication.... a perfect metaphor to my contemplation ......the ego melting away in transcendence.
The lovely image of the Traditional Indian dancer is from a magazine. The grungy bordered background frame is courtesy of skeletalmess. The map was found on Flickr, as was the beautiful sand dune and sky texture, borrowed from Moosebite, also on Flickr.

Beautiful collage. Love the idea of the ego melting away...
I like when the art piece says a little more than the usual about the artist. This one seems to do so... Congratulations!
Great entry for the challenge. I think perhaps an inward journey is the most rewarding of all.

Love the wonderful exotic and ethnic imagery- such inspired journeys!
Very exotic, love the red against the b/g, makes your piece 'pop!'
A lovely interpretation to take an inward journey. Wonderful.
Well done.
This is absolutely stunning--both the images and the thought behind it. Beautiful work!
