Description
My second entry in *4bstr4ct4rt 's Abstract Elements Contest , chosen to represent Air. Invisible in itself, it manifests in a most awesome and destructive manner in the form of whirlwinds and the much larger hurricanes.Related content

dust cloud or rock, i think that fits quite well. i see both, the rigid lines and fractured putting-together of the element seems quite harsh and 'rocky' but the colours have an airyness to them, clouds of coloured gas... nebulaish?

Indeed, it does seem to have a split personality

This is very reminiscent of an aerial photograph of a hurricane: super realisation of the concept

I see both clouds and wind, swirling and wreaking havoc, grabbing anything and everything in their path.

That'll do! Sometimes, the reasons are unanalysable

Living on the Texas gulf coast I am unfortunately quite familiar with hurricanes

I imagine it's rather scary - only ever caught the tail-end of one, but I had to lean at close to 45 degrees to maintain forward motion

Good texture effect ; for me it's like some of the rocks we have here.

Yes, I can see it more now - the semi-precious crystalline minerals

Looks like a photo taken milliseconds after an explosive charge was ignited inside a granite cliff!
Absolutely gorgeous!

Cool! But in the words of Wallace Stevens, there would seem to be "an insolid billowing of the solid"

Why did you choose these colours?
Is it to suggest the flying earth and buildings drawn up into the air?
We once had a minute whirlwind in my back garden. It scattered stuff everywhere, especially cabbage leaves from next door.
I'm afraid of wind.

They were initially chosen fairly randomly in a search for something aesthetically pleasing - sometimes I know what colours I want, others I scroll down trying this and that. But then it became apparent that it resembled the dust and debris drawn up by a whirlwind - I could have aimed for more realism, but then it would be less abstract
