Platonic Solids by Moni

“In the first place, then, as is evident to all, fire and earth and water and air are bodies. And every sort of body possesses solidity, and every solid must necessarily be contained in planes; and every plane rectilinear figure is composed of triangles…” – Plato. Timaeus circa 360 BC.

Icosahedron –> Water Tetrahedron –> Fire Cube –> Earth Octahedron –> Air Dodecahedron –> The Fifth Element (The Universe).

The marriage of sound and sight conceives his art. Tapping into the vibe and pulse from the music that surrounds him, he materializes his thoughts, dreams, and emotions onto the digital canvass. His “mellow” and “laid back” demeanor recline peacefully on the surface of his works, but between the pixels of the images, another aspect of his personality shines through. Hope. Muted, yet vibrant, colors of red and pink bursting out from a grayscale photo and soaring into the negative space of the image– reaching higher and higher to a destination not yet seen, but constantly hungered for. A look at his art reminds you that one’s inner beauty– inner flower– blossoms outwards, permeating into everything they do. It can also be a photographical “flow chart” of his process. He infuses music into his veins, letting it course through his body, fueling his mind and soul to emote his interpretation into a final piece. The combining and uniting of images and colors, reality and fantasy, lights and shadows, reminds us one immutable truth about both art and the few who partake in it: Possibilities are endless. Anything can be achieved. Any thought, any dream, any hope, any vision. And out of the billions of people on this earth, no one has vision like artists do. From the city of brotherly love, Graphic Designer and Music Enthusiast, JEFF MANNING.

As you drive into Yosemite the 20 miles leading into the park climb about 5,000 feet, but it’s generally not a super interesting drive. You move from yellow rolling hills into more dense forrest. Then, just past the site of last year’s forest fire you go through a tunnel and the whole world changes as the park begins to unfurl itself slowly to you and you realize you’ve never quite seen anything like it.
