Atlantic Endangered. By Francia Trosty. All Rights Reserved Digitally manipulated photo of the Atlantic ocean as I saw it from a ship's balcony on a cruise. My images are entirely original, digital prints. They originate with my own photograph or a scan and manipulated digitally. Pursuing art is my way of attempting to understand reality. I do it to express personal feelings, yet attempt at the same time to create visual images of universal appeal. I invite the viewer to search and explore, to enjoy my work for its formal issues of shape, line, color, texture, movement and space, and to hopefully find in that experience some personal pleasure and relevant meaning. Details can be seen in layers that reveal something new and ambiguous from actual experiences and emotions.
