Uniquely Qualified

 

This image started out as a
digital image of a some tiling
that I liked the look of.

When played with in Photoshop Elements
it took on a whole different feeling for me.
If you look closely, you will see a number
of shapes within the image.
Some are darker, some are lighter.

The lighter ones metaphorically
are those people who stand out
by virtue of who they are.

They are "uniquely qualified,"
which means they are different
than those around them.

You will also notice that each
one that is light, while similar,
is still different.

I realize this is quite a stretch,
and that is why this is most certainly
one of my more abstract works.

For someone who has spent their life
being different, it has a positive
spin on something that can often be
viewed in mostly negative ways...ie
"You don't fit in," "You're strange,"
and so on.

It can put a positive light on what
it means to be different and to stand out.
It also happens that many times those
who stand out are the ones who can lead.
They are the light in the darkness.

Perhaps you will relate.

Thanks for your interest and comments!
